Oh..this doc won't defer. As her receptionist puts it..."we already have to wait on payment from the insurance". So basically I'm stuck for at least 2 weeks.
Bullcrap.
Then you call your insurance company and explain to them the need to get off their asses RIGHT NOW because they are holding up your therapy and that is UNACCEPTABLE.
You can also tell that receptionist - hell, I'd love to do it for you, but you can tell her uppity ass that while it's great life's all hunky flippin dory for her, some people need help with problems larger than chipping a nail and she needs to either make you an appointment now or have the doctor give you an immediate referral.
It's not about YOU, if you want to look at it that way.
You're taking care of your kids' father.
So DO it.
Guess I'm going to have to go with plan B and find a different doctor. I just called and was told "payment at time service is rendered" and "if you can't pay the copay at time of the appointment then we can't see you"...

I just want to cry..they treated me like dirt. Last thing I wanted to ask was for a referral.

The therapist has always been great...just the admin that I would like to drop kick.

I don't remember your employment situation, but lots of companies have an EAP that can give you a referral, and most likely a number of no copay sessions.
Mine doesn't sadly, it's just a EAP resource center. Which in turn refers me to my health provider. See..everything I touch is such a damn fight.

That's too bad. Ours ends up going sort of through the health provider, but at the same time it is separate. I haven't figured it all out, but I know it did help us set up some stuff for one of our sons, and it worked out well.
Next project is to try to get rid of some of the negative thinking. I know there's a lot of bad stuff in your life right now, but it isn't 'personal', and I think you are taking some of it that way. It isn't that everything you touch is a fight. It's just the way some stuff is, it isn't you. It will help you to get over thinking that way, I think.
So she just called my cell phone. She called four times. I didn't answer. Then she texted me with her callback number. So I decided to call back to find out what was so damn important.
"Oh...I meant to call OM..sorry"
I just can't do this.

I gave up after call number either to try and find a new counselor. How the hell am I supposed to face today?
