Hey, thanks for the info. Hmmmm...I went to an orientation in 2009 and 1 class and had to quit due to scheduling issue with my kids. Anyway, I'm super curious to find out if that has anything to do with it. Or my fibromyalgia, high blood pressure or hypothyroidism. IDK! Only time will tell.

I called the Van Buren offices again and spoke with someone else. They said everything else is the same. So maybe this will add more time to the process. I guess they want to make sure people qualify? I don't know, but my appt. is on the 30th of this month and I will post what I can find out.

Yes, that's what I was told. The lady I spoke with said it started a few months ago, yet she couldn't give me anymore info. I've searched as many forums and kp.org and I can't find out anything. I guess my doctors referral isn't good enough! LOL

My PCP sent the referral and I talked to the person today to set up my orientation. She said I have to have a consultation with Dr Ismail in corona first. Can anyone fill me in on the new protocol?
