The "hits" keep on coming

In order for us to see this Reproductive Endocrinologist we had to first go through our Lovely insurance. Have I told you lately how much I truly love you insurance company? No? That's because I don't and everything I do that involves you is a fight. Which we did and we were told what we could have done. Unlimited IUI's and 4 IVF cycles. The first IUI did not work when I informed my doctor that because I had a separate plan for prescriptions which meant that my "employer" does not fall under the mandate and all medications for infertility we have to pay 100% out of pocket. Do you know the thousands of dollars that were shelled out just for one IUI cycle? My doctor called his staff and asked them to look into it. I asked for their help back when I was trying to get the medication they told me they couldn't help me. Funny how when your boss calls you suddenly you are so quick to find some answers. Well answers were found just not the greatest.  As it turns out our insurance is now refusing to cover anything further with this doctors office they are refusing to cover the IUI that they already ok'd that the doctors office has a stamped "approved" from. They assured me that they will fight my lovely insurance company if all else fails they will right it off. Meaning I will not be billed. Just another issue we can no longer use them. I filled out the form to get all my records and proceeded on after thanking the women for their help.

I had no emotion I wasn't sad, happy or anything. I just was focused on getting a new in network RE. I researched all those in network and found they all got horrible reviews. So when a new place came up I clicked on it and liked what I saw did some more researching and discovered he specializes in endo and pcos. Which I have both of. I have a consult with him in hopes that I will have my file and not have to repeat any of the pre-testing that took months to get done. I am trying to remain optimistic. I am trying.....
