Yes I have Cigna insurance, and I actually have to vent because I was on the phone today for at least 5 hours calling around to 10 different locations and speaking with at least 15 different people.

Looking over the list of eligible Psychiatrists in-network with Cigna, I began to call a person of interest. A kind receptionist had answered and asked that I explain my situation. She told me the doctor in question was working at a totally different location, suggests that I call a Neurologist for my problems instead and gives me their number. Okay, so I call the office of a Neurologist who mentions that I would need a referral from a doctor of Internal Medicine to see anyone. I am then given the number to an Internal Medicine clinic nearby. I set up an appointment only to discover 15 minutes later that this clinic is actually a clinic of Family Practice. From there I call Cigna to inquire about the referral, who then transfer me to Cigna Behavioral, then to Cigna Health who then tell me I don't need a referral. With the help of Cigna, I call a couple different Neurologists only to find out their wait times are at least TWO EFFING MONTHS!! Wow, just wow. To top it all off, the term 'Neuropsychologist' that had been tossed around is causing me to already question my need for a Neurologist.

So lets see.. even through all that mess, I am still stuck at square one. I mean WTF, where does one get started? I'm constantly being lead in circles. I'm in pain, and am in need of help.

The pre-video stuff I can handle, it's the post-video stuff that bothers me most. I'm not interested in talking with a Psychologist about my problems, I've already explored that avenue a couple months ago but found that nobody was accepting new patients and/or was put on probation. What I really want is some medication to relieve the head pains I'm experiencing, and something to desensitize the things I've become sensitive to. Is that so hard to ask?
