Curb your office staff!
My medicare provider set me up with Dr Patel as my new PCP.
Effective date 2 weeks on first of next month.
Insurance person stated Dr Patel agreed that I could keep my established specialists.....and that their office would work on trying to get my prescripts filled between now and next month.
Was told to call Dr office; was on hold for 10-15 minutes. Receptionist said insurance only gave my first name; and the insurance company didn't complete their tasks into changing my coverage!
Receptionists ALSO said Patel would decide which specialists he'd refer me to!
Boom!
Not happening!
I know my care....my body....my health better than some medicare doctor that only sees me to try to jack up costs by ordering all the tests medicare covers!
And sees me maybe 3-4 yearly.
Had that happen several times...can you say "gouge" and rip off?
So....even though the insurance carrier (Care+) does have extreme suck-ism....it was NOT for Dr staff to thrown them under the bus!
Hope ol' Pritesh likes his staff---they just cost him a new patient.
