Insurance companies can be so pfrustrating at best and downright evil at worst!

I also have arthritis in other joints & my disability attorney needs x-rays of these joints to help bolster my LTD & SSDI Claims.

Well, good old Anthem-BCBS informed me that I would have to get a referral pfor each doctor I would need to see at the Orthopedic Clinic.

That would be 4 referrals (different doctors specialize in different joints), 4 different appointments, 4 different co-pays, etc. ...

PFKN RIDICULOUS, eh?

I don't have the mental capacity to deal with all that right now!

Getting me to and through this hip replacement surgery this month is my #1 priority & pfocus right now!

So, during my appointment with my Primary Care Physician yesterday, I explained the situation to him.

He totally agreed with me and sent me pfor imaging at the same place that did the x-rays of my hip back in August.

So, now, in addition to the hip, we also have images of:

- Left Foot (ankle)
- Both Knees
- Lower Back
- Both Hands
- Right Shoulder

Thankfully this imaging center is "in-network" so no worries there either.

Needless to say, my PCP, the imaging center and the x-ray technician are on my gratitude list today!
