If they have a patient portal go log in/register It should allow you an online look up of doctors If you can't do that call back and speak to a different person State regulations usually require you to provide an update to the provider directory once a year. Sounds like you got a bad rep on the line

I work at ci That letter is a copy to you sent to your surgeon It basically means that they have requirements for approval (documenting your surgery type, diets, visits etc) and they failed to receive all the pieces required for the surgery requested Wouldn't worry about it. Just make sure that office insurance coordinator sends in everything they need timely

May god bless you further by healing this for you and bring you home safely.

Omg I am not alone. These are disgustingly sweet!!!

My insurance required a letter from a doctor that was not the surgeon and providing medical clearance I my case it was the pcp

You are no longer insuring him so your employer reduces the deductible for a single person plan Your insurance has contracted rates meaning they get a discount form the provider charges If you have not met your deductible that bill for $1167.98 applies to your deductible and you have to pay that bill All services you receive go to your deductible from whoever the provider you see until you reach the $1600. So you may not have to pay the surgeon or hospital that $1600 because it could be met by another provider if service Further once you meet the deductible. You may still be liable for a % of the services rendered up to another amount. Thee amounts can be clearly communicated to you by your insurance carrier. Give them a call Ask about deductible and out of pocket maximum

I am sure you are in good hands! Have faith you will be fine. Good lick

Don't think this is part of his diet

I felt the same way Hang in there all will be well Now just waiting for surgery

Sunrise that's tough. Can you talk to your surgeon about some form of modified work schedule? I know part of the FMLA laws is you can have intermittent leaves or reduced work load etc. I am sure you don't work for yourself so if you can get the doc to help out with paperwork maybe they can send a helping hand?

I just saw protein water at Walmart. Sorry i didn't pick it up

I haven't been bullied yet but still pre-op I've asked questions that have been asked before and get answers people are tired of giving. I have tried to do searches as well before posting something. But really people do come on here looking for validation they ate French fries ice creams and whatever

It's very hard for me when everyone is home as well. I decided to slowly adopt the pre diet by doing one shake every two days and now daily. When I am home with the fan it's hard I know you can't leave work but can you ask for a reassignment from your supervisor even for a few hours of the day? Maybe half with patients and the other half doing paperwork somewhere ? Or with patients who aren't watching what you eat?

Still pre op but think your doc can give you anti nausea medicine

My surgeon said I could forget it for a month and my pcp said she would not approve it for 6-8 weeks. They're concerned of pulmonary embolisms Hmm

I told my boss she was adamant against it. Unfortunately for her the corporate hr handles my STD I hear from her I can excercise My friends think why can't Zumba help me And the newest hey you started a Protein shake a day and you've lost a few pounds? Keep going you'll be fine! I don't think I will be I am a quick gratification person. I am sorry I am and I give up on diets because I see little to no movement and then gain what I lost plus some.

Medicaid differs state to state but medicare is federal and one set of rules nationally. That said I don't know the regs but lots of folks on this forum were covered by medicare

Congratulations! Do you mean Jello? Ask the nurse before you leave

Would suggest seeing your gyn I have that occasionally and I have fibroids so it's normal Usually clear faint yellow occasionally Like snot really gross If it smells call to get an ASAP appt

Can you get a pre op diet from your doc? You should be able to lose that weight with the pre op diet ?

I am confused ... Did you already get approved by your insurance or do you still need to her approved? Are you saying your doc won't consider you for commencing the program until you lose weight first? Some insurances require up to 6 months of supervised diet and I even heard of some that take a year. Do you expect to have surgery this summer?

If you search on the site for "insurance paying for protein drinks" there is a really extensive post on this A lot of folks have been getting it covered through their pharmacy benefit It really all depends on your employer benefit so even same insurance different employers will be different

All her other posts she's look for a mentor/buddy but then posts once and doesn't seem to respond

I've worked there for 5 years The designation is based on numerous quality factors to get the designation. An outside body (multiple medical associations) may make their changes and recommendation and may affect a Cigna designation eventually. I would just call and make sure you must use or is it just a better out of pocket experience For many Cigna plans the use of center of excellence reduces your out of pocket Mine is reduced 10% for instance No affect on my deductible - just coinsurance

Best ever!
