EFFING DOCTOR'S OFFICE AND INSURANCE COMPANIES--small update, page 2

I have totally had it. I'm so POed that there is no way I can adequately explain what is going on. I can only try. I'm supposed to go see a heart rhythm specialist. It sure seems to me that these guys just don't want to see patients!!!! My doctor informed me 10 days ago that he wants me to see someone RIGHT AWAY and, not for lack of effort on my part, I still have not seen someone. I have an appointment with someone tomorrow--an appointment I had to BEG FOR and it is over an hour from my house and I have not been driving those distances since these symptoms started. So I just got a call saying they are not sure if the doctor takes my insurance and they can let me know in the morning. I'm already shelling out all kinds of $$ for things that are not covered and I am so tired of it. So, I guess I can go out of network, but to go out of network to see a doctor whose office is so far away seems stupid. I told the woman who called me that my DH is taking off work to bring me to the appointment and I need to know today if they take my insurance. I HAVE FRIKKIN BLUE CROSS-- HOW DIFFICULT IS THAT????? The woman tells me that I'm making a big deal for nothing. I told her to try being pregnant and unable to breathe and then call me back and let me know if she thinks it's a big deal. I do not even know if my original doctor sent over the records that will be needed for this. So, I called my doctor to discuss all of the concerns about this. He is usually very helpful but he has never spoken to me when I was pissed off!!!! I am waiting for his call but in the meantime, I have about 10 hours work that has to get done before tomorrow and I was up until 3am with trouble breathing. Thanks for letting me vent. (ETA: Darlene's post has me asking whether I can actually VENT if I cannot breathe ).
