Well, I was nervous about this all weekend long but it seems that my workaround worked perfectly! I knew what I needed to do and I started doing it at 1:23 PM. That was just after I got out of bed! Don’t judge me! I am chronically ill!
I called my medical supply company who has been my medical supply company for years. I am no stranger to waiting on hold when talking to a doctor’s office so I just waited. I knew exactly what I needed to do and it took me 48 minutes to get it all figured out! Kudos to Marie who was excellent and I gave her all fives in the survey!:
Marie told me that my monthly order was on hold because I needed to change my primary care physician in the order. I did that and she did some thing on her end where I would be on hold for a little while longer and then she told me that it will be shipped out today!
Once I hung up, I let out a heavy sigh of relief because my medical supplies are coming now! I really can’t even understand how this happened because I have been receiving these supplies since 2001. That was when the doctor prescribed them to me but that was after a very strenuous testing that was done.
That was the doctor home my neurologist’s nurse wanted me to see but I have seen him before! He is the specialist who people with MS see and whom I have seen before. I don’t need to see him again! I did not like his bedside manner and they don’t have a cure for me now so I just need my supplies!
That’s why I had my workaround because I did not want to go through that test again because I already know what the test would say! I messaged my current PCP and told her that my medical supply company will ask for authorization for something that I have needed since 2001.
We also called Dr. Skarf’s nurse as well today and left a message for her to call my Mom back for testing and scans thatI need to have done on my eyes in the new year.
