So I hurt my back really bad almost 2 weeks ago. When I first hurt it, my chiro told me I needed an MRI ASAP to see if it was a slipped or torn disc. This was a Wednesday, I scheduled on for Thursday. Turns out my health insurance, Aetna, who I pay $200 for every month, pushed it back to Friday because they were trying to decide if they were going to pay for it or not. Then it got pushed back to Friday, Monday.. Tuesday they decide to not pay for it. They say I need to be injured and receiving treatment for 8 whole weeks before they would pay for anything. I will be in a fucking wheelchair if this goes on for 8 weeks! They also said I have a $5000 deductable on chiro, which basically means "fuck you pay for it yourself"
So I had to resort to shopping around for my own MRI.. I found them from $680-$490 is the cheapest I have found. The soonest they can get me in is Friday morn. Then I have to wait till Monday to get the results. So that will be almost 3 weeks with a back injury that should have gotten taken care of the day after I hurt myself.
I wont be surprised if I find out walking around with this injury for 3 weeks has fucked me up more and I will prob need MORE medical care, who knows if my insurance will pay for it or not.
Now I feel like calling them and screaming at them "WHAT THE FUCK DO I PAY YOU FOR... INSTANCES LIKE THIS YOU FUCKING ASSHOLES!!!!" but then they would probably drop me, then I'd be even more screwed.
I'm fucking pissed. thanx for letting me vent guys
