I met with Dr. Blunt as I was referred to him due to elevated PSA. He seemed like a nice, competent doctor. I will not find out, though. He referred me for an MRI which my insurance denied, as he indicated they might, and an appeal may be required.
This is where the administration side of the business as involved. If any one of those doctors witnessed the disinterested receptionist who was put out with my visits to prompt the appeal, she would be fired immediately. Her condescending sighs showed her level of interest. I called numerous times, finally I spoke to a fellow who seemed helpful and understanding that a patient who likely has cancer would like some action and communication. He indicated he would mark his email to the office as urgent and I asked for him to include that I want a call from the office. To date, no call. Insurance has indicated no appeal, even though I gave them the instructions on Monday, September 9 that I had a person waiting for the fax and gave number, etc. A week later, when I visited again, said receptionist indicated they waited a day then sent it in......who knows, at this point.
Go elsewhere! The waiting room is always full and today I had a new patient follow me out to ask me questions....Run away! read more
