In my last post, I shared that it was finally confirmed that I was in-network. I got a call on Monday saying that the hospital called the surgeon's office and told them that I am out of network. Why they keep changing their answer? I have no idea. I am two weeks pre-op and have no clue how much this whole deal is going to cost and if I am in or out of network. I started this insurance process back in March and it still is not figured out. Needless to say I am stressed out and beyond frustrated. Apparently 4 months is not enough time to get this all sorted out.
My fear right now is that I have to schedule the surgery with another hospital and I have to post-pone the surgery date until December, which is when I have my next break in school. To those of you reading this, if you can, give this as much time as humanly possible to sort out. I probably should have done this two months sooner, but I had no idea it would be this complicated. I have been calling three different people everyday this week twice a day and leaving messages. So far no one has returned any of my calls. Hopefully that means they are trying to figure it out too. I am 95% sure I am in-network because I have an extended PPO plan that covers me when I am out of network with my primary insurer. Hopefully this gets sorted out soon. I was supposed to have all my quotes and everything pegged down this week, but it will have to happen next week... I hope!
