[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 213176, member: 1233"] I am glad the doctor doesn't want to wait. You may be able to get medicare or medicaid to pay for this - it would be worth calling to get the forms. I know when I needed the hysterectomy the medicaid people said to have the surgery and have the hospital sw do the forms - it wouldn't be approved until AFTER the surgery. But then they said it had to be approved before the surgery, so I have no idea the protocol. But call and ask. Your doctor may also charge a lower fee because you are paying for it rather than having an insurance co involved. I know my doctor gets $20 out of me, the paperwork says the fee is usually about $112, and ins pays $30 - the rest of the $112 is written off. So you can get maybe half or more knocked off if you push after the fact. It is worth asking about. I am sorry you are hurting. Call the doctor and ask for her to call in that pain medication. At least to take at night so you can sleep. That kind of pain is NO FUN and is scary too. Can't be helping the anxiety, or anything else. I hope you can go do your new job. Hugs, Susie [/QUOTE]
