I started going to the doctor for real about 2 years ago. Then my doctor, who I had a total guy crush on, moved to another practice a couple hours away. So I kind of stopped going to the doctor for a year or so. But now I’m back. I’ve got a new doctor and a new committment to actually go see him periodically.

I am a big fan of his receptionist, and not just because she has a comic book name. She is friendly, helpful, and willing to talk insurance nonsense. One thing that is always a problem is getting tests done. Different insurance companies work with different labs and if the office sends your junk to the wrong lab you can get billed pretty heavy… and it’s not even your fault. Every company has its own codes and methods and schedules of what they accept/pay/decline… Coding educator jobs are in a growth segment these days.. Yay America, health care is fantabulous in this great nation.

The cool thing about this office is that they send material to a nearby hospital where it gets catalogued and sorted and sent to the right lab based on insurance. Or at least that is what I have been led to believe. I’ll let you know how it all goes with my blood work.

Fingers crossed.
