That sucks Dave! Going thru the same HMO %$%$%$%$ here! Injured over 3 weeks ago....finally after all the appointments/referrals and jumping through hoops....therapy begins tomorrow! What a game they got goin'.....everyone is in to make a buck and the health care sucks!!!

best of luck , the bastages are never shy about taking our money , rates are through the roof but god forbid you need service , they make you jump through so many hoops don't even get me started on how long it takes to get an appointment , last time i called for an appointment they said 6 weeks i told them i would be cured or crippled by then , off to the emergency room

Mac.... i hope your surgery goes real well...

the thing i make sure to look out for now
is referals and who recieved them or not
because otherwize you get billed for it all.

i have had all my surgeries lately foul up
and instead of tufts paying the Bill it always
gets screwed up and they bill me instead.

so while your sitting there unable to move
much, get on the phone and make sure all
the referals arrived as planned.

i won't even accept a referal now unless
it's in writing and handed to me.
It's been that rediculous...

That's F%$#@ BS Dave, I went tru the same crap with my back....They didn't want to pay and ended up seeing hack docs in the beginning,they didn't have a %$#@ clue....now 3+ years of pain and agony..finally get fixed...now he says I also have a tear in my hip that should have been fixed years ago...^%$#@ BS. They take $$$$ out of your check every week..No choise..But try to get proper care when you need it..Not right..I hope it all goes good Dave....
