This is so "long" to go into but get this... MY "orthopedic surgeon" who
did the surgery on my neck, and "was" supposed to do the other next
week, is ONE MY INSURANCE AS A PREFERRED IN-NETWORK PROVIDER, UNDER HIS
BUSINESS NAME (DALLAS BONE AND JOINT CLINIC)... So, for TWO weeks I hAVE
BEEN FIGHTING WITH HIS ASSISTANT because they keep saying they are NOT a
preferred provider... I HAD PROOF FROM HUMANA, I HAD REFERENCE NUMBERS,
I CALLED THEM MANY TIMES YESTERDAY I WAS ON THE PHONE
WITH HUMANA FOR OVER 3 HOURS.... AND FINALLY FOUND OUT HE 'GETS' BY
with saying he is "not in network" BY FILING UNDER HIS OWN TAX ID NUMBER
rather than THE BUSINESS NAME WHICH IS AN IN NETWORK PREFERRED
PROVIDER!!!! So, that means rather than me pay $325.00 FOR MY SURGERY...
they want OVER $1,200.00!!!! They want the deductible which ONLY
APPLIES ON OUT OF NETWORK PROVIDERS AND THEN FOR ME TO PAY 40% of the
bill!!!!! I KNOW THAT HAS TO BE SOME KIND OF A RIP OFF.... HOW CAN HE BE
UNDER THEM AND IT IS HIS BUSINESS... ALL OF HIS PAPERWORK READS DALLAS
BONE AND JOINT CLINIC AT HIS ADDRESSES, AND I THINK HE AND ONLY ONE
OTHER DOCTOR IS THERE... SO HOW CAN HE HAVE "TWO" TAX ID business
NUMBERS, AND IT BE LEGITIMATE NO ONE ELSE WOULD HAVE TRACED IT DOWN
LIKE ME!!!!!!
Everyone else would have just PAID OVER 1,000.00 and went
on so he MAKES A LOT MORE FROM THE PATIENT IN HIS POCKET!!!! I am GOING
TO SEND AN EMAIL TO MY CONGRESSMAN, AND WHOMEVER I NEED TO... I THINK
THIS IS TOTALLY WRONG, AND HE IS A GREEDY ASS, WHO DOES NOT DESERVE TO
TAKE PEOPLE'S MONEY IN ORDER TO MAKE HIS MORE RICH... I NEED THIS
SURGERY, BUT HELL I CAN BARELY AFFORD 325.00!!!! HOW THE HELL AM I
SUPPOSED TO COUGH UP 1,200.00 because he is a greedy selfish miser.... I
CRIED YESTERDAY AFTERNOON, ALL EVENING... I AM SO MAD, BECAUSE US
LITTLE GUYS ARE THE ONES THAT SUFFER AT THE HANDS OF THE RICH!!!!!

YOU CAN Make a DIFFERENCE WTH THE ARTHRITIS FOUNDATION ON CAPITOL HILL FROM YOUR HOME!
I share this with you! Since I will not be able to attend the AF Summit on Capitol Hill due to having cervical neck surgery, I am definitely going to be an "advocate" online! This link takes YOU to a letter, that you can personalize So, even if you can't make it to the Summit, you can and tell your own story about how AF is effecting you, your family and so forth. I sent mine in yesterday! ALL of these will be taken to Capitol Hill and given to Congress at the Summit! YOUR can MAKE a DIFFERENCE even from your home for the AF Summit on Capitol Hill!
HONESTLY, I FEEL BADLY THAT I AM NOT ABLE TO BE THERE THIS YEAR AND REALLY WANTED TO ATTEND! I LOVED IT IN 2014, AND HAD HOPED THIS YEAR THINGS WOULD ALLOW ME TO GO. MY NECK SURGERY IS ONLY A PORTION AND COULD HAVE WAITED, BUT I ALSO HAVE A MOM, WHOM I FEAR COULD BE SUFFERING FROM SOME TYPE OF DEMENTIA, OR WORSE ALZHEIMER'S. THINGS ARE NOT GOOD AT THIS POINT, AND I FELT SINCE I AM HER "ONLY CARETAKER", I COULD NOT LEAVE HER THIS TIME. SO, I MADE THE CHOICE TO TRY AND DO EVERYTHING I CAN TO "MAKE A DIFFERENCE" ONLINE, THROUGH SOCIAL MEDIA, TO SENDING LETTERS TO MY REPRESENTATIVE BARTON AND TO CONGRESS, AND LETTING THEM KNOW MY STORY!
YOU TOO, WILL MAKE THAT DIFFERENCE. YOUR LETTERS ARE ALMOST AS GOOD AS BEING THERE ON CAPITOL HILL!!!!

This is exactly the type of support we need! Great News and Thank you President Obama for addressing that our pain is "REAL"!
Please spread this link on to everyone you can. We NEED support like this to fight back against those who don't believe our pain is "real" and that we "need" our medications to be able to have some type of normal in our lives!
