You all know what it is like talking to you medical insurance company right? Bad.
Wrong. I just spent 90 minutes talking to mine and it was WONDERFUL. Sharaya explained everything to me, told me about the things they covered and how to get fancy virtual tests covered and all that.
I now have a primary care doctor (and I can change that easily if I want after a visit). I can get a back specialist directly after one visit to my new primary care doctor and she says I can get virtual tests done with a simple co-pay in the network (and apparently all such specialists are covered) and my primary doctor will actually pay attention to those.
She said that is the way their coverage is going; high-tech... United health Care.
I haven't tested it yet, but she was so positive I nearly fell off my chair. I will call one of the doctors she emailed me today about my back and a annual physical.
But she was so great I had to post this first...

Health care and medical insurance are such a big deal in the USA! People worry about it so much - and with good reason. I'm glad that you've have a very positive experience with your insurance company. But ... one of these days, you might just wanna emigrate and find out what health care should really be like: affordable, readily accessible (if you live in a city) and high quality.
(Our politicians aren't much chop, but they've gotta be better than the guy you've got, haven't they? Another benefit. And we've got Vegemite - that makes three reasons to move down under.)

That's wonderful news - and totally not what we expect from health care stories these days.
Good health insurance is hard to come by.
