Goodness Gracious

I went in for my Glucose/Insulin test today. After 2 hours and 4 sticks I'm finally through. Now, I wait for the results. I'm praying that I am IR so that I can start the Met!!

After my test this morning I spent about 2 hours trying to track down the RE that is on our insurance. After countless phone numbers and dead ends I finally got ahold of someone who had actually heard of her. They said that she moved to Tennesse in December of 2006 and gave me the number to the clinic where she used to work. I had to leave a message, so I'm waiting for a call-back. But in the meantime I called my insurance company back to tell them that the only RE in my area who was on our plan is no longer in the area. I figured they would tell me, "Tough Luck". But they said that Dr. K could call them and ask for a "Network Adequacy Hardship" because Dr. Richard-Davis is no longer in the area, and they would allow me to see whomever he recommended. So that means...I don't have to drive to New Orleans for all my RE appointments!!!!! Dr. K had already suggested an RE that's next door to him, so I'm sure that's who he will recommend. WOO HOO!!!! Answered Prayers!!!!

I just got a call back from the clinic where Dr. Richard-Davis used to be, and they said that Dr. Ronald Clisam took her place. When she asked me if I wanted to make an appointment I told her that I wanted to talk to my insurance company first to let them know the situation. Then she asked what insurance I had. I told her Cig.na, and she said, "Yes, we're contracted with Cig.na." CRAP!!!! So now I have a dilema...do I go ahead with the "Network Adequacy Hardship" as if I don't know about Dr. Clisam because I really don't want to drive to NOLA, or do I call my insurance company and let them know about him???
