Doctors suck

I think I have said this a time or two before.  Remember the fiasco about getting D's SA results?  Yeah, well I had to get all of my records to see the specialist tomorrow.  I put in a request two weeks ago and never heard anything.  I called them to check on it and they wanted me to come in and fill out another release form.  So I did and then they told me yesterday that it would take 7 - 10 business days.  WTF?  I go to the dr TOMORROW people.  I need them now. 

So I call this morning and they tell me that the medical records chic only works part time and they don't know when she will be in or her schedule.  WTH!?  Sounds like a great job, I want to do that.  Finally I hunt down someone who will help me and she just called back and they were able to do it.  Thank goodness.....BUT....

FORTY FRIGGIN BUCKS.  $40 for 35 sheets of paper.  FLUCKIN ridiculous.

Re: Doctors suck

  • That is crazy. They suck!
  • That is ridiculous!  Doctor's and everything that surrounds them seems to be just about getting money from us.  How can 35 sheets of paper possibly cost $40?  What if they had sent it when they said they would, would it have cost anything?

  • Yup, that is the standard fee.  But she did tell me that she cut me a deal since she didnt copy my miscarriage u/s pictures seperatley.

    Um. Thanks. Tongue Tied

  • How gracious of her. Sorry you have to deal with this added stress. Hope your appointment goes well tomorrow.
  • Why are so many doctor's offices a complete mess? The doctor can be great, the receptionist can be nice, but try to retrieve your records or get a question answered FORGET ABOUT IT. It's ridiculous. What is so complicated?

    This.  I had my fill of it this past summer trying to get my records (it also cost me about $30 for 20 pages) and then dealing with insurance coding nightmares.

    Ugh, I'm so sorry you had to deal with that...as if you needed something else, right?  I'm glad you got the records and they didn't make you wait that 7-10 days or whatever crap they initially said.  GL tomorrow!!!

  • OI! What a mess!!! Sorry they were such pains in the ass but at least you have them now!

    Hopefully this new doctor will be amazing

  • Junk punch to your doctor's office.  What a PITA.  

     Fingers crossed that the new doc is 1000x better than this office.

  • Unbelievable.  I can't understand why they make it so difficult. 

    Scarlett's doc has e-files.  He updates the system as he talks to us and gives us a printout when he's done.  I hope more docs go that direction.  It's very convenient.

  • I never understood why you had to pay for copies of your records.  I'd be like, gimme those bad boys and I'll take them to kinkos and get them copied for under $5. 

    Glad you got them and hope all goes well tomorrow!

    They have a system like that now but all the old stuff was not put in.  My chart with these people goes all the way back to when I was 15 and started seeing her.  Apparently they had to dig it all out of a cave or something.  But you are right, the e-file system is very convenient.
  • I'm so sorry you got all this hassle.  I'm glad you were able to get them, finally, and that you go to the new doc with records in hand.  Good luck!
