The only thing I would add is try to get your first appointment on Monday. Other appointments and test will be scheduled and it's nice to try to get it all done in one trip. Be prepared to stay several days. We had BC/BS Fed also. I can't sing their praises enough. My husband also had an incurable neurological disease. His neurologist was there also
Thank you for the info. One quesion I have since I also have BC/BS Federal is did you have to pay a lot of money up front or did they just bill your insurance? This far in speaking with our insurance and the hospital, this has not become clear.
