Thank you Alastair. I heard from Ingrid Mulder today. She said Dr. Zeegers forward my email to him to her. In the email she said that she was sorry he could not comply with the request..."we never deal with insurance companies, only with patients". Of course I am disappointed because if insurance were to approve it I could save close to $40,000 dollars!
So I have an appointment to see my primary tomorrow, and she will probably (hopefully) write up something, but I think it would have been so much more effective coming from the surgeon. I understand that he hasn't actually evaluated me personally yet, but I had hoped maybe I could have the testing next Tuesday, and he could write and fax then, 3 days before surgery.
Oh well. Not much more I can do with this. Sigh.
