One thing thats been lingering on my list for many months now is to just call my insurance provider and figure out who I can see for dermatology and my other annual check ups, the protocol for seeing a specialist and where I'm covered. Many of this info was available on their website, but the protocol for going directly to a specialist was surprisingly absent from my literature. So today, I finally called.
In less than 2 hours I have managed to:
Schedule my first dermatology appointment since I left the U (May 2009).
Schedule my first physical since Feb 2009
Fill out my pre-appointment forms for my physical.-- online!!
My appointments will be happening in November which is a relief as I'd like to just get them out of the way. I was very relieved to be able to get into a dermatologist by mid November. When I was at the U, they usually were scheduling 3 months out!
Getting this taken care of is a HUGE weight off my shoulders! I have coloration at the very edge of my melanoma excision that has been nagging since even before that derm appointment at the U. I wasn't a very big fan of that doctor and am quite relieved to be giving someone else a shot! That guy was kind of rude and and completely dismissed my concerns about the pigmentation. Since then the pigmentation has grown which bugs me so hopefully I can get that addressed!
