I was unhappy with my OS and decided to try a different one (closer and his reputation is good). I released my records so they could be sent to the new OS, but the records the new OS's office received did not include the X-rays that were taken on April 10. Turns out that in order to have my x-rays copied and sent to the new OS, it will cost me $30 because the clinic "owns" them and they are only paid to do them and read them. I was under the impression that X-rays are MINE! I was very irate because I'm so afraid that although my new OS has the x-ray equipment in his office he will say something like, "Well, you'll have to come back after I've examined the x-rays." My co-pay is pretty high and I don't want to make any more visits than I have to and I don't want to reschedule (my appt is tomorrow) because it's a month's wait for an appointment, it's about 40 miles away, plus it'll be about two months before he will probably do the surgery (if he agrees with the other OS) because he is in great demand. I did call my insurance company to ask if they will pay for a new set and as long as it's in the dr's office, they will pay 100%. If I had to go to another facility, they would only pay 80%. It's just been kind of stressful and I've spent a lot of time making sure that the new surgeon has what he needs. But this x-ray thing ticked me off. I know several of you have mentioned going to a second and third OS until you found one you liked. Did you have similar problems or is it just me?
