Have You Sought Care Outside Your Insurance Coverage?
I am so incredibly stressed and upset. My son is transitioning from pediatric care at Stanford to adult care at the University of Washington. Things have been going so well! Today cardiology called to set up his first appointment and “mentioned” that as of August 1st the UW will not longer be accepting our insurance. WHAT?!
She said they will sign a single case agreement asking approval to treat Cullen. She couldn’t tell me if a whole care agreement can be signed or if each department will need to do it. I was also warned that this will need to be done every 6 months to a year. So what happens if insurance approves now but not in the future?
I told Cullen if all else fails I guess we will have to switch to back to Stanford. He made a good point though, no matter what he will still need care in WA where we live.
The UW is researching and will get back to me. I haven’t called insurance myself because I know the doctors teams are doing that at the moment and I don’t want to risk messing up their efforts.
Has anyone gone through a similar experience. I welcome advice.
