[QUOTE="witzend, post: 622560, member: 99"] Thanks, Signorina. My insurance company wants to charge me for [I]everything[/I] as a deductible anymore. This is a big concern for me, so I will want to check with them to see what the true cost of using this service is. If it is free, I might consider it, especially along the lines of trying to coordinate some sort of low cost "do it on your own" pt. I'm interested in learning more if you hear further details. I don't really need anyone to coordinate prescriptions or appointments for me. I thought it was odd that the sent me a one page letter saying "There's a new service called ComplexCare. You have to sign up for it if you want it. The sign-up page is on the next sheet." Then there was a sign-up sheet for my name and signature - that is [I]literally[/I] the extent of what they sent. Most often I find that my doctors etc really know [I]very little[/I] about the particular type of Muscular Dystrophy that I have. Usually they say "I read a paragraph about it in Medical School one day", but I've actually had a doctor tell me that he "wouldn't test me for it because only little boys get Muscular Dystrophy." Um - hello? There are 43 types of Muscular Dystrophy, they affect people of both sexes and all ages, I was diagnosed when I was 12, and my DNA test results would beg to differ with him. What a waste of a perfectly good expensive well-visit exam [I]that[/I] was! I'd honestly rather skip out on a service than have to educate one more doctor at the cost of $50 a whop out of my pocket because they're a "specialist". Even the MDA is $50 a visit, because [I]hey[/I], I have insurance! Obviously I don't need their financial help with a co-pay! I don't need their stinking "clinic", and I don't need to donate to them, either. [/QUOTE]
