So I went to see an oncologist last week. The insurance company says all he has to do is file an out of network request. Once that gets denied they will be able to release me.
The oncologist takes a look at the treatment we are trying to get and says, "Oh, I know a guy that's trying to get this set up here locally. Let's see how that's going."
He takes out his phone and calls the guy, and asks him how it's going.
"We're about a month away. Just waiting on funding."
"Well I'm sitting here with another potential patient of yours, he needs the treatment."
"That's excellent. I just got another new patient refereed to me this morning."
"Well I'll cc you on his charts so you can track his progress."
The doctor then reads the letter from the insurance company. "If he takes too long to get this going, maybe a month or two, then we'll go this way." Holding the letter.
Isn't that just the best of luck? Or maybe it is in disguise. Oh well the wait continues.
