The insurance system is not built for any normal person to understand. It's so frustrating, all of it. The back and forths between the insurance company and the doctors' offices...the he-said-she-said...ugh. I had a big freak out yesterday because I found out my physical therapist isn't in-network...and I've already had 9 sessions. Nobody felt compelled to tell me that - granted, I could have dug deeper than I did, but nobody told me to do that either!! If you haven't been in the medical system before, you're basically fucked. It's kind of like getting a second opinion - if nobody is on your side telling you what to do, you can be totally taken advantage of.
Anyway, it all ended up working out ok...kind of...I'm still going to end up paying more than I would if I'd switched to an in-network PT, but I love my lady so much (Cindy at West Portland Physical Therapy Clinic), I simply can't stand the idea of leaving and starting over with somebody new. So whatever, I'm eating it - but it's obviously not gonna stop me from flipping off photobooth.
