Headache

Its becoming impossible to get anything done with workmans comp now! I was going to CareNow to see the treating doctor but after I got the impairment rating and was told that I will have medical coverage for life, just getting ro go see a doctor has become a nightmare! After the IR, CareNow released me cause, as they said they have done all they can do, I have been trying to get in to see another doctor. The workmans comp agent said I can continue to go see the treating doctor at CareNow. But CareNow said because I was released feom thwir care, I can not. So I have been trying to see about going to see another doctor to help with the daily pain I am in. So after weeks and weeks of back and forth with the insurance, they finally said they have found a place that I can go a see a doctor. Well, I get out to the place they sent me and its a flipping ER! I go in and let them know that the agent at the insurance sent me to the stating that they this place will pick up where CareNow left off. The doctor at the ER is scratching his head and asking me why tjey would send me their knowing that they are ONLY an ER and do not do long term care, which is what I am needing. Because in order for me to get back into working again I have to have something to help with the daily pain. I mean not being able to stand for more then 30 minutes without intense crippling pain in my back makes it extremely hard. The ER doctor said what you need is a nack specialist and why the workmans comp did not try to get me to one is beyond him. So he wrote me a few scripts and sent me home. I drop them off at the pharmacy and said I would get them the next day. So then I get a call the next day saying that the meds were DENIED by the insurance cause the place I went (that they sent me to mind you) was not covered by the insurance! At this point I am livid! I am so angry I call the insurance and ask what the heck was going on! Theu said they are getting it all cleared up. Later on I get a call from the pharmacy saying the scrpits were ready. Great, finally I can get something to help me. Only when I get there, out of the 3 scrpits, workmans comp approved only 1! I am at my breaking point! I have lifetime coverage but can't get into a doctor office to help. I get a script for meds only to have them denied! Can't work if can't stand pr walk very long, can't stand or walk very long cause I am in pain, can't get out of pain cause I can't get in to see a doctor! What the heck am I supposed to do now?!?

Oh boy that is a huge headache Michael Peterson II I am so sorry! My suggestion is to seek alternative means to get what you need. You could try [Doctors on Demand] (https://www.doctorondemand.com/) to see if they can address your issue. You need your medication so if someone is willing to fill it you can also seek out different government-run programs to get discounts, etc. The key is to first find a doctor that will help. I am wishing you the best of luck and again so sorry that this has caused you so much pain both emotionally as well as physically.
