Nope.. My PCP won't even attempt to write one up as they stated this HMO won't take predated referrals... I've talked with the supervisor at the Sleep Speciallist company last Tuesday, gave her the scoop on what occurred, but need to wait for their 'puter to come back up due to a conversion.. Should be Friday.. (Ok, side note - I'm IT, don't understand why it takes 5 days to convert a system... Our customers would be moving to a new company if it took us that long to convert.) Hopefully they will understand that this is "their" problem as they setup the second appointment without a referral.. Hopefully will find out more tomorrow...Propjockey said:Mark...will the Ins Co. honor a retroactive referral? It's rare, but not unheard of.
PJ, if you ask'n about my insurance issue, here is the latest. Talked with the sleep specialist last week. They stated it came down to this, they are going to charge me what my PCP visit co-pay is.. So from around $1300, it's down to $42. Think I can live with that.. A new bill will arrive end of month, so I still won't believe it until that shows up.. Live and learn, never set up an appointment without a referral. <_<Propjockey said:Any new word on this?
