I found phone numbers to specialist in Portland at the university hospital. I gave the information to my primary, the referral was sent yesterday. Now I wait to hear from Portland, of course I won't wait the suggested two weeks. I will be calling them before the suggested time frame. Not on Medicare yet , I still have a few years to go. Since I retired just after 18 years I forfeited my pension. My jobs burn out rate is 10 years, however if you want the pension and retirement plan you have to stick with it for 20 years. That's a federal job for ya. Long story short, my husband has Medicare thankfully. As for myself I am stuck with our states insurance for now.
