Re: not coping

Tiring @Eve7 went to the drs. Waited half hr to see her only to have the appt interruppted 3 times (with twice having being asked to leave the room till i was called back in)
Have to see an allergenist now which is so expensive and now i dont know if i can afford the neurosurgeon either.
Doesnt know how to manage my allergies in the meantime either

Re: not coping

Oh 😖 that must be so frustrating for you and also rude of the Dr to take those calls. The calls should be put through between patients.

I’m sad for you that these issues seem never ending without suitable answers. I wish I could send you the $$ for the specialists hun.

Here with you and feeling your frustration and disappointment.

Re: not coping

Gee @outlander you did well to see a Dr on a Boxing Day holiday. Everything shuts down around here. The difference between rural and city/metropolitan I suppose.

Surely an allergenist is mostly covered by Medicare when referred by a GP? The same should be the case for the neurologist. I accept that most will have a gap payment, though some will surely bulk bill for concession card holders. Could you maybe give them a call and ask what the gap payment is for you. If its higher than you can afford, you may be able to negotiate.

It really upsets me @outlander that you continue to pay for things for your sisters and/or Pop, when it should not be your responsibility. And then, when it comes to having available funds for your own needs, such as health ... there's nothing left.

Re: not coping

Yeah i can understand one as she was talking about an urgent matter with a patient in for treatment at another place but the other 2 im sure could've waited. @Eve7

If i see both specialists in january itll be over $900 (with about 300 back from medicare between the both appts) not including travel fees parking and snacks if i get anything on the day or someone to look after pop

Re: not coping

Most of the places are shut @Emelia8 this medical centre is generally open all days of the year except xmas day. I guess aome dont mind working public holidays its double pay for them.

The neurosurgeon does have a pensioner rate. Its $75 cheaper then full price then 120 back from medicare . Its 400 all up even with discounts.

Im going to see if any of my insurance covers it but i doubt it.

Re: not coping

Those prices are crazy @outlander I don’t know why it’s like this for you but I know some specialists will bulk bill if you ask.

Would you mother or pop assist with costs?

Much love to you 💜💜💜💜

Re: not coping

Mum cant @Eve7 i manage all of pops money as well. The bills are everywhere so thats been the focus on paydays for now. Our loans are almost paid off which would be ahuge help.
Theyve given discounts bur they dont bulk bill. I will just have to space them out or something.
