insurance companies blow...

god help me... united health care is really bad at updating their physician info.

Now i know i live in Pa, but its certainly not the boonies..but trying to find an RE is impossible. 1 is listed in my area and her # is disconnected. She's now in Philly. (which isnt far, but i'd like someone closer b/c its easier for me to get to).

i tried other #'s to GYN's all disconnected or dr's arent at the office anymore.

So since i work in NYC, im going to one near work..got an appt for 2 weeks from now at Columbia University Repro Center.

amen a # i dialed worked..LOL

this is so frustrating!!

yep..thats where i got the #'s from. i did the physician finder. I think its just my area. i had better luck with the NYC #'s.

u would think i lived in Timbuktu!!

thanks Chat Icon

by the way, do you have UHC EPO or PPO?
i have thePPO plan 90/50..just curious to your experiences with dealing with fertility issues and what they cover...

i have the PPO plan too..
my plan covers almost everything with the Infertility tests.. etc..
i have been very lucky so far!

yea they are not doing a great job of updating around your area.. have you tried calling the number and asking them when the last time it was updated? maybe they can send you something

Re: insurance companies blow...

i've tried that before...the rep looks up using the same tool...so they were giving me the same #'s..LOL i had to tell them it wasnt current.

sometimes it is the dr's fault for not updating..but really...enough's enough.

glad to hear they've been paying for everything. thats comforting!
