I am so mad i could spit nails.
I had to go to the gp dr. last month. I didn't have insurance last month. The dr. did not touch me, just gave a script. Guess how much it cost me: $318.00!!!!
Go to the dr. today. Need an MRI on my back. Insurance won't pay for it because they have proceedures you must go through first. NOW the Insurance co. are telling the dr.'s how to do their job! First I have to go in for a simple ex-ray to make sure there are no bulging disks. Then I have to go to physical therapy, which guess what, my insurance doesn't cover physical therapy!! so the dr. calls around , finds someone who will except my insurance and then she is going to insist and try to override the insurance company to get the physical therapy. AFTER the physical therapy THEN the insurance will pay for an MRI. Now, I ask you, what if physical therapy makes my back worse. Last summer when my back went to hurting I went to a chiropractor, I came out in severe pain every time. twice my husband had to come get me. At first I thought I was just sensitive....didn't take me long to figure out chiropractor was not going to work for me; I think there is something else wrong with my back.
So anyway, Thanks to the government sticking their nose in where it doesn't belong.
Sue happy people who abuse the system and abuse the drugs. (cause she wouldn't give me anything for pain,not even short term)
Thanks to the dr.'s raising their prices so high because their insurance is so expensive due to malpractive lawsuits.
Thanks to the companies who make a pill for .25 cents and charge $120 per pill.
Now our insurance is telling the dr.s how to do thier job!!! I'M FURIOUS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
What's it going to be like in just another 10 years. We already can't even choose which dr. we want to see, we have to see the ones on THEIR list! Heck you could die before you get through all the insurance procedures!
Sorry, had to blow off steam somewhere, I knew you guys would understand.
I'm just super ticked off!!

is appalling, and am embarrassed by our government...
PT does not do any bone cracking...just light movements...they will fully check your range of motion...chart it and will never push you past your comfortable range...very gentle !! at least that has been my experience...i so hope you get this resolved QUICKLY !!
spell is bad but i am curious to what people think cause these r my thought on my own treatment pain meds, and phys. thryp until i can no longer function and it legal in calif.
Keep the faith.
Try even getting bloodwork with NO insurance! I haven't had blood drawn in 2 years and I'm sure it has to do with insurance. I know my Dr. is trying to spare me unnessecary costs, but I really think I need the blood drawn. My Dr. in FL. used to do it once every 6 months, even without insurance. I haven't tried to apply for help with my low income situation. I'm too proud, as my Daddy was. I guess I will need to swallow that in the future!
