I was told by Dr Duke office staff that we would not be a good "fit". We are now waiting for another doc to review his surgical notes before we will know if he will see my husband. In the mean time he is hobbling around doing who knows what to that knee. Hope we don't have to fly back to CT just to get an opinion on what can be done. I feel hopeless at this point.
That sounds like code for, "We are not crazy about your insurance."

I had a bone doc slow roll me for years when I was on Tricare Prime. As soon as I qualified for Tricare For Life, he changed his tune.
