I was told I had to see a neurologist with in 1-2days at the ER.  My insurance company only has 2 doctors that are neurologist dealing with seizures, concussions, and headaches.  My dr called and explained the situation to them and was told Sept 1 was the earliest.  Are you kidding me?!?!  I have a job-I have to be able to drive to and from work.  There is one dr that says he takes my insurance and can see me tomorrow but when the PCP calls Humana, they say he is not covered. WTH??? First off, how can you only have 2 neurologist in the whole entire city of Houston accepting your insurance?  And secondly, as a dr-how can you make a patient wait a month when it clearly states she needs to be seen ASAP?!?! 4951

Can they approve an out of network provider if your PCP can convince one to see you sooner?
 
@Stealth83: That is my goal to find out tomorrow.

If you want to use insurance you have to play by their rules. imo if it's a true emergency I would go anyway and not worry about the payments, thats what the majority of people do anyway... 4951

@Katiemcg: So sorry, it is frustrating!!  I pay all my bills on time, I should have access to see the provider that I need.  Something is terribly wrong when there are NO drs for a patient to see

You just wait until the doctor shorage gets in full swing. We have a shortage now but there are a lot of doctors that will soon be retiring due to all this Obumer care nonsense. Why would u stay in practice if u have more and more regulations and less payment? 4951

Change your name to Pasqualie Hulio Vasquez, tell them you are an illegal, and that you have committed only minor felonies, voted for Obama 6 times, and have an alter where you worship golden images of Nanci Pilosci and Harry Reed.They will send a LIMO out to pick you up, you will get first class medical treatment, a limo ride back, and all will be at NO cost to you.  4951
