Hi Shawn, that seems like a long time to get insurance to approve that visit. Have you contacted your insurance? I worked for two major primary insurance companies in the past and our responds back to the insure was less time. I would suggest you call them and let them know you need immediate care and the physician has thrown up his hands. I have heart failure and was diagnosis in 2005 with Cardiomyapathy. My ejection levels were 12%. But no physician threw up their hands on me but worked to solve the problem.

The insurance company will have suggestions. If the representative doesn't ask to speak to supervisor. She'll find the answers. Let me know Maddie

@maddie3211 I don't know, thats just what Mayo told me when they made the appointment. That i would need my doctors referral and that it would take 2 weeks from there before it all cleared out. I did leave a message with my doc right after getting off the phone with them, his nurse returned the call and said that she would have a conversation with him and get back to me. I also mentioned about my continuing pain and when i should return to the er since the last time i was there they gave me a script for Vicodin for pain and told me i should expect it and that unless i hit 10\10 there isn't much to do and that the 10\10 would probably mean another HA was coming on. I mean it's bearable but just that. It's about a 7\10 currently and i've been learning to deal with it until i can get in and hopefully get some answers eventually.
