I'm starting to see that whole place as a ghetto operation now. The PDoc is there once a week--and the RN treats everyone after the 1st or 2nd visit w/the PDoc. I saw the RN for more than a year at a time, even though it was against my insurance policy to go that long w/o a doctor's care. I liked her, though.
More than one doctor and two therapists had told me you have to jump thru hoops to get on the military's insurance for mental health, and that the insur. doesn't pay good, so there are only about 6 PDocs on the entire list of providers. So i didn't have much choice then when I had that insurance, but now hopefully can find a good doctor thru new ins. I tried 3 other PDoc's on the list, and they were much worse, can't believe there is worse....
They were always screwing up the billing too, it was time consuming to always straighten it all out. One time PDoc used wrong diagnosis code for sleep study ($2000)--he kept using insomnia instead of fatigue, and the insurance wouldn't pay it. This took 2 years. The insurance company did everything but call the guy and up say hey dude, are you sure you have the right diagnosis code here? The insurance co. said, just get them to call and give us the correct code over the phone, and we'll just pay it. The billing people just did not get this! Finally, i remembered I had his personal cell phone # and called him at home, and begged him to take care of it. It was paid that week.
yeah-I remember now-I have his personal phone number!! I should call him up right now and yell into the phone "Hey buddy-how does it feel to not be able to sleep!!!!" lol
I'm scared to try Phenibut because of the side effects I just read about on that other forum. But I might just have to try it anyway. But like Neil said, it's kind of silly to be thinking about Passionflower..lol. Don't know what I was thinking then!
I'm done venting. Have a great holiday everyone.
