Hi All,
After speaking with Dr. Lever's office this afternoon, they've decided that this is serious enough to get me up there tomorrow morning. We need to get my CHF under control and evaluate me for myectomy once and for all. I'm excited about going. My local cardio has not been attacking this very aggressively, and i really need to see someone who knows what they're doing.
The real fun today has been trying to get everything squared away with my insurance company since Cleveland is out of network. My PCP won't call to get authorization for me, because he's not the one that has been treating my HCM. He says it's my cardio's job. My cardio's office doesn't want to call and get authorization for me, because they feel it is the PCP's job. After calling each of them a bunch of times to try and get it straightened out, both offices finally got irate with me and told me to stop calling. In the meantime, the insurance company warned me that if they don't get what they need up front, they ain't paying.
For the love of god... i'm in CHF here, and while my idiot doctors are arguing amongst themselves about who should get the authorization for me, i'm not getting any better
Anyway, thanks for letting me rant. I'll let ya know how everything turns out.
