If there is one aspect of my life that is kind of stressing me out right now, it would be my health insurance.
Long story short, I kept using this one provider because it had qualified me to see this particular Endocrine/Diabetes specialist that I like. However, while he was covered last year, apparently he is no longer covered this year. More specifically, I was told by the doctor's office that my insurance plan was "On pause, awaiting approval". This was back in March. I had to re-schedule my appt. for June.
Now, I have no idea why I woke up today thinking I need to check on my status online, but I did, and somehow, I can't find this Dr. on the website anymore. Why, I have no idea. Maybe he's no longer supported by this insurance provider, or maybe I just didn't search correctly on their website.
Whatever the case is, if I can't get in with him by June, I will need to find someone else. I've seen a few other doctors before settling on him, as all the others before seemingly a bit surly somehow, or they just seemed rushed and stressed-out themselves. I can understand though, as their offices seem to be packed all the time, so chances are good that these doctors are over-worked and probably not getting enough rest themselves.
Still, the problem remains that I am currently paying for a higher health insurance premium this year, for something that I was able to use last year, but currently can not this year. It's kind of frustrating.
