[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm so angry right now.  PCP sent a referral to do a sleep study.  I lineup the sleep study with the health group/facility.  Still no word if my insurance is covering anything.  I try calling their office number on their website, and it routes you through an automated system where I get an operator on the line who tells me she can't determine if my insurance will pay and to call the office number.  The number she gives me is the same exact number online that I called in in the first place. And around and around and around I go with no answer.

Ok, screw that. I try calling up my insurance company directly to see if pre-authorization is required....sit on the phone for hours and am still waiting.

I am just so sick of this trash.  I am seriously consider leaving soon so I never have to deal with trash US healthcare anymore. I can't wait to be told soon that no, the sleep study won't be covered anyway even though the doctor ordered it.   Why the F is it so goddamn hard to get HC in the US, and why do oatients have to waste hours getting answers or thrown into circular loops over and over again with no answers until it breaks your will to pursue?  I can't imagine how terrible this would be if I had a more serious illness and were too weak to deal with all of this stupid nonsense.

I went to Thailand once with my in-laws.  My sister in-law fell and broke her arm. She was in and out of the hospital after getting x-rays, a cast, and meds in no time. Total cost was $300 with no insurance.  I just want to gouge my eyes out just trying to figure out if I can even get a GD sleep study paid for by insurance. [/quote]

The naive American who was born yesterday thinks Thailand has better healthcare than the US.

Sure. Go and enjoy!![/quote]
