What's NOT okay: we're changing our health insurance here for the second time this year, effective July 1, and my OB/GYN -- of course -- isn't on the new insurance. Which means that if I have fibroids or alien babies or something, I have to go find a totally new OB/GYN to deal with it.
Oh, bloody hell - what a mess.
[insert rant about how in a single-payer system this sort of thing wouldn't be an issue]
I'm with Nora - get the ultrasound. and talk to you doctor about the health insurance plan.
We just had to switch plans this month. Snafu due to some how DH and I being put into they system as being born in 1919.
Off to the vet ina few to learn to shoot the cat.
Also, WTF is up with switching health care plans all willy nilly like that? TWICE in a YEAR? Is this the doings of the incompetant boss wife-HR lady?
Yup. Anything to save a buck. And don't get me wrong -- like I said, they pay our whole premium -- but Big!Boss's daughter (who works here and is thus covered) ran into a problem with some surgery her husband had, like they had to pay thousands out of pocket. So I'm thinking that was the catalyst to change. Woo.
I hate health insurance in this country - it's just all fucked up.
And changing insurance twice a year just adds to the craxy.

We started the year with Anthem, switched in February to this weird plan that no one ever heard of, and July apparently will be Aetna.
I'm betting that by October we're on to a plan where our medical coverage is just some dude with a car trunk full of rusty hand saws and NyQuil.
Happy Birthday, askye!
Scrappy, I hope your doggie feels better soon. (Mine is now holding court in the front yard, while I sit on the porch with the 'puter.)
Get the test done, Steph. At least the person looking at the results will be someone you trust, not a new-to-you doc.

OH CRAP! I'm sorry, I totally forgot to call you this weekend, MM. Sorry. I was in Redlands all weekend, visiting with family in from out of town.
Excuses, excuses, you fucking fuck.

IME with Aetna, some of their plans are very inclusive, and some not. My office offers two versions of their dental plan - one which includes practically every dentist in the city, and one which includes maybe three. It's craxy.
