I saw him yesterday. I sat and talked to the finance guy before I left, telling him I will no longer be paying out of pocket for all things infertile (no, no, it's not all rainbows and sunshine). He said he'd bill for IUI and I'll have to pay up to $300 for what insurance doesn't pay for (and as I mentioned, I have a $250 deductible, so hoping the "up to" only means another $50 on top of that). I also mentioned I wanted to get pre-authed for IVF. I don't know if there is an official pre-authorization for it, but I know there are rules (12 months of infertility using other less expensive methods, letter of credible coverage from old insurance, etc) and I want them to all be in a row for if/when IVF is necessary. (good lord. IVF. Queue "I never thought it would be me" flashbacks).
My god, I ramble.
Anywho, I saw him YESTERDAY and I already got in the mail today a "just to confirm we will bill insurance for IUI and you'll have to pay up to $300. And I've talked to finance-girl-x and she will start the pre-authorization for IVF".
Day-um. He must have run back to his office to write the letter to get it in yesterday's mail. Maybe the poor guy's bored. Shouldn't be with the lines of people in and out of that waiting room.
Oh - and tell me. Is EVERYONE employed by your RE pregnant too? It's really annoying to find at least one VERY pregnant person
waddling working there. Maybe they hire pregnant girls on purpose - kind of as positive reinforcement of their all powerful treatments. But it doesn't do much for me except piss me off. And I REALLY have to bite my tongue from asking "do you get an employee discount?"
