Not getting epidural tomorrow
Posted On: 11/06/2006 23:11:05

OK, someone somewhere messed up.  I saw the neuro on October 6th.  He told me he wanted me to get the epidural and his office would set it up right away.  A week later we still hadn't heard anything.  My hubby called the neuro's office and they said they were waiting for insurance to ok it.  The following week I heard from the doctors office that was doing the epidural that they were setting my appt. for today.  So I saw them and they set me up for tomorrow.  Then late this afternoon I find out I can't have it done because the pain management doctor is not in my network.  I asked her why the appointment was made if I wasn't in their network and she told me they had paperwork from my neuro saying to set it up ASAP.  So I called my neuro's office and the girl there denied ever sending anything to the pain managerment doctor.  In fact she told me they are still waiting on the insurance approval!  They only subbmitted it on October 18, around the same time that my husband called!  I asked her how the pain management doctor had all my work and she told me she had no idea but it didn't come from her office.  So I called the pain manangement  office back and his girl said "I have the paperwork in front of my from your neuro, it is stamped with his signature and all your medical records are here.  Your neuro's office referred you to us.  However, we can't treat you because we are not in your network."   So now I have to find a new pain management doctor and start over.  But I am so angry.  The gal in my neuro's office dropped the ball and I am the one paying for it.  

So I am pretty upset.  I will make a few phone calls in the morning to complain about this but not really sure what good it will do.  I really need prayer.  I can't live like this.  I just want to cry.
