Insurance Probs

As I continue along my nipples vs no nipples adventure, I am now forced into seeing a doctor I wasn’t planning on seeing. The first breast/plastic surgeons I met with are not in network with my primary care physician. They ARE covered by my insurance, though. In order to get a second opinion with another doctor that’s not related to my primary, though, I have to see someone who is in network with her. So on October 9, I’m going to meet with a plastic surgeon who is in the same network as my primary so that her office will process a referral for ANOTHER opinion with the plastic surgeon I want to see, who I have an appointment with on October 28th.

This all seems very silly to me. But I guess it can’t hurt to have multiple opinions on reconstruction. I’m just so anxious to get this over with! 

As Covid numbers rise again, I’m nervous my surgery will get pushed off. I already had hoped to have had it done and over with this past summer and Covid ruined that. I just don’t want to put it off any longer. I have known about my risk status for 10 years. That’s a long time to stress about getting cancer. As I creep closer to 40, I get closer to the age my mom was at diagnosis. 

Wear your masks, people. Let’s try and control the spread. For people like me. For people who are actually sick. For everyone. 

Love and boobies,

Allison
