No, you are not crazy. I personally think everyone needs one before this surgery, but insurance doesn't want to pay for it. It worth the peace of mind to know exactly what your body is allergic to.Am I crazy for wanting the blood test?

I don't think they know a thing about insurance. Their office staff handles all that. But, they are concerned about the 'bottom dollar' pressure from the group they are apart of. The best OS I had years ago left the profession when HMOs took over. He said he had little control over the care and time he could give his patients and that's not why he became a doctor! I cried when he left.Because of all the issues doctors go through with insurance these days
I completely agree! After finding out I had to have a doctor's order I asked both my PCP and my OS if they'd write it. I didn't actually talk to the doctor himself, just the nurses. They said they had never heard of such and thing. Well, my OS will hear of it next time I need knee surgery!What doctor wouldn’t want you happy, especially if you are paying for it.
