Have you been left in the Lurch By the Doctors and NOT the Insurance?

God what a day! I had a pre-op test and surgery date set for 04/14 & 04/21, and was called and told that the doctor didn't want to do another case that day and rescheduled for 04/17 & 04/24, ok, I can deal with that. My letter of approval is good for 90 days from 03/17. Well I got a call on 04/09 saying that I need to give them $15,000. in 24 hours or all bets are off. Well it's 24 hours and all bets are off. Now I have 60 days to find a doctor who is in network, and start from square one, how easy is that. Oh I guess I need to mention that on 03/28 my husband was laid off, but gets to keep this insurance for 90 days from the 28th, and they did know about this on 03/17, and was actually asked about monies to be paid up front, and I was told NONE TO BE CONCERNED ABOUT, DON'T WORRY, YOUR ALL SET TO GO. Has anyone been through this, and has anyone had the pleasure of of dealing with a Dr. Mark Kadowaki as he is who I am looking at now to do my surgery. I am not a happy camper, and can't figure out how to post my own personal comments and updates on my personal profile....
