I was the one that read it carefully and brought it to their attention. The imaging facility was the one who was dragging their heels, not knowing what I was speaking about. This is a requirement for everyone age 70 and over, and my age was on the application, but there were two requirements which I met, age being just one of them. I was not asked for a report of my blood test. They acted like it wasn't important, and actually they acted like they'd never heard of it before. Yes, I would've called my doctor's office to get a faxed order to take the test, but I had recent blood test reports in the car with me which they accepted but according to the rules on the form, they weren't current enough -- I went with it because an MD there said, it's OK. Actually just sick of this type of thing happening almost everytime I have anything to do with the medical field. I'm so glad that I have my husband as my advocate with me at all times. Dee Dee |
