Re: [QUAD-L] Insurance / Doctors

I just call my doctors assistant and let him know my chair is having a problem. The guys at Care Medical simply call my doctor and tell him what they need a script for. My doctor doesn't fix wheelchairs. Hes like me, hes got to trust them to do it right. I feel fortunate that they do what they say they will quickly and get my chair back to me then worry about the idiots at medicare and medicaid. I haven't met anyone at medicaid or medicare that has impressed me with their mental accumen, in fact, I think they get hired because no other agency would have them. The state of ohio appoints "lawyers" to run medicaid. I've written the governor on several occasions to find out why he doesn't appoint doctors to the state attorney general's office, but I onlyt get back form letters explaining how insignificant the charges of accepting bribes are that he pled guilty to.   I applied for a job working for the state of Ohio. I'n my application I pointed out that I'm highly qualified because I'm an accountant that can read above a 2nd grade level and I can't get off my ass come hell or high water.   I suppose I need to molest an animal or a child to qualify.Pfffft, two things I can't do!   john     In a message dated 10/5/2006 9:12:48 PM Eastern Daylight Time, [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, October 05, 2006 4:55 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]; quad-list@eskimo.com Subject: Re: [QUAD-L] Insurance / Doctors    What about looking for a different doctor, he doesn't seem to understand your needs.  Doctors should not need to see every time you need something, especially with just the basics of needing a wheelchair repaired.  Companies do take so long to get parts.  My medical supply company calls the doctor gives a prescription for me, usually . The wheelchair company I deal with is Apria.   Sorry you're having to go through so much, that is so unfair.  Our wheelchairs are our legs.  It is really ridiculous.  What we have to go through and how long we have wait just to get parts.
