Tues 12/3/13 Insurance Issues --- changing neurologists.

I received a call from Jennifer at CRS.  I was informed that CRS had denied approval for Breck to continue seeing her neurologist - Dr Schusse or Dr. Varma.  They have referred her to a Dr Stanley Johnsen at St Joseph's Hospital.  I was very frustrated.  Really?!  A week and a half away from surgery and we have to switch her neurologist.  This made no sense to me.

I called her surgeon - Dr Kris Smith.  They were not familiar with Dr. Johnsen but told me not to worry that the surgery would still go forward - they didn't need the neurologist in the room with them for this one.  They would have needed the neurologist if we were having the probes put in.  I still was not to comfortable with this.

Then I called Dr. Schusse and Dr Varma's office.  I explained what was going on.  The nurse relayed my concerns to Dr. Schusse and I was told they would get in contact with Jennifer at CRS and see what they could do.

I then tried to call Dr. Johnsen's office to even see if she could make an appointment.  The nurse said she would pass on the information.

I decided I had done all I could at this point and tried to let it go in God's hands... Praying that my mind would stay calm so that I could hear what to do next.
