Changes, I finally learned

Well I have a twist as to who will do my surgery. It will probably be next week with Dr. Ripa.  My doctor that was going to do it thought I had Medicare and a supplement.  I don’t. My blue cross BluePPO takes care of everything that I don’t have to pay. So 3 women in the front office said I could use my card but I would have to pay more because Reckmeyer  was not in the network.  Even after I told him that the girls said he was out of my network he said he thought he was still in network but his condition was that I have medicare and a supplement which I could not get because no one wanted me with A-Fib. My plan took me even though I had A-fib which has been controlled for a quite a while. I was going to go with it until I talked to the blue PPO insurance. They said to try a different orthopedic Dr. because  there are plenty that will take the card with  in the network.  So I called this office that has 13 orthopedist’s and they all will take my card and are in network.  It still won’t be cheap but at least I will get the full benefit from the card, so my records are being transferred out of Reckmyers   to this other Dr.  Just call this a second opinion.  As soon as they get my release of my records.  So as I stand now it is waiting,  but getting close.Enough about Dr’s.  It is cold and forecast snow but just  not much of it.  I hope they are right.  I have a niece that was raised in Ca. and married a guy that lives in Alaska.  They live in Juneau which was a quite a distance from that area that was buried in snow.  Cordova or something like that..    I thought Ne. was bad.  Hey, Sheila, go to Alaska!!! I just thought that would be a good place to go.  I want to thank everyone for your good wishes and I will carry them with me to my new Dr., in my mind.
