Not professional at all</p> <p>@spaniellove: $5,000 is way pricy! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-the-diagnoses-keep-adding-up-and-clinic-update#post-808264 Fri, 24 May 2013 20:45:59 +0000 Shutterbug 808264@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@spaniellove: yiiikes, that's a mean way to put it. I'm surprised that they would diagnose that with two m/c so far apart, but like others said, maybe it's an insurance thing. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-the-diagnoses-keep-adding-up-and-clinic-update#post-808262 Fri, 24 May 2013 20:45:20 +0000 Mrs. Jacks 808262@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrswin: yes, I was considered geriatric! For that matter, they put "pediatrician" on my problem list with the comment "well, that's going to be a problem!" </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-the-diagnoses-keep-adding-up-and-clinic-update#post-808217 Fri, 24 May 2013 20:08:05 +0000 raintreebee 808217@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@spaniellove: Wow. That is a pricey visit! I still don't get why the medical establishment refers to miscarriages as spontaneous abortions. Do you know when you will get the rpl and karyotyping back? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-the-diagnoses-keep-adding-up-and-clinic-update#post-808191 Fri, 24 May 2013 19:46:03 +0000 spaniellove 808191@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>On second thought, if it's for the coding I might be grateful. I did the math for what today's visit may have cost OOP and holy crap! Up to $5000? I'll take any code to save that kind of money. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-the-diagnoses-keep-adding-up-and-clinic-update#post-808187 Fri, 24 May 2013 19:44:18 +0000 mrswin 808187@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@spaniellove: I hope it is for coding purposes as well, but it would still have been nice if they had warned you. I'm glad that at least the SHG is done and you know that your ute is looking good and have pics to prove it! :)</p> <p>@Mrs. Jacks: OMG, they labeled you geriatric???!!! That's uncalled for! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-the-diagnoses-keep-adding-up-and-clinic-update#post-808100 Fri, 24 May 2013 18:30:05 +0000 MsLipGloss 808100@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@spaniellove: that's my guess re the coding. ((Hugs)) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-the-diagnoses-keep-adding-up-and-clinic-update#post-808098 Fri, 24 May 2013 18:29:10 +0000 MsLipGloss 808098@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Twine: that's what I was thinking. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-the-diagnoses-keep-adding-up-and-clinic-update#post-808052 Fri, 24 May 2013 17:38:13 +0000 Mrs. Polish 808052@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@spaniellove: That makes me feel sick for you. What terrible terminology. I'm glad the dr took their time with you today. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-the-diagnoses-keep-adding-up-and-clinic-update#post-808050 Fri, 24 May 2013 17:35:52 +0000 Mrs. Jacks 808050@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@spaniellove: I was labeled "geriatric" if that makes you feel better!</p> <p>But I bet you are right in that they were trying to get tests covered with a diagnosis code. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-the-diagnoses-keep-adding-up-and-clinic-update#post-807972 Fri, 24 May 2013 16:45:00 +0000 swedishfish 807972@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Oh gosh, I'm so sorry. I just don't like the wording of that even if the doctor's office is trying to get things covered for you. But it is really GREAT that your water sonogram went well! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-the-diagnoses-keep-adding-up-and-clinic-update#post-807966 Fri, 24 May 2013 16:43:01 +0000 oliviaoblivia 807966@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Big hugs! What a horrible name. Glad your SHG was ok. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-the-diagnoses-keep-adding-up-and-clinic-update#post-807963 Fri, 24 May 2013 16:40:30 +0000 futuremama 807963@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Fellow "Habitual Aborter" here...also after 2 m/c's. My doctor said that 3 is the traditional diagnosis, but more dr use 2 to define it. For me, despite the punch in the gut when i read it, I was able to get all of my RPL workup covered by insurance. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-the-diagnoses-keep-adding-up-and-clinic-update#post-807945 Fri, 24 May 2013 16:30:36 +0000 sweetooth 807945@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Labels suck. I hope it was in order to get your lab work properly charged. But still, those descriptions. Bleh.</p> <p>I'm glad that everything looked good on your SHG and that you snagged a picture of your lovely ute :). I took a picture of the screen too :) </p> <p>It's amazing how careless they can be in doctor's offices when it comes to recording information. Today I had an appointment where they reviewed my record with me stating that I was advanced maternal age and I had gotten pregnant with IVF. Um, excuse me? How did that get recorded? I made them update their records, and watched them scratch out IVF, and replace it with IUI. Don't go effing with my records. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-the-diagnoses-keep-adding-up-and-clinic-update#post-807912 Fri, 24 May 2013 16:07:10 +0000 Mrs. Twine 807912@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I hope that's all. It's still hurtful, but maybe you can at least feel a little better knowing it was just for form's sake. I worked for a Medicare appeals contractor for a while, and I know that some strange things are done in the name of coding. You are such a strong woman. I really admire you a lot. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-the-diagnoses-keep-adding-up-and-clinic-update#post-807893 Fri, 24 May 2013 15:58:15 +0000 lovehoneybee 807893@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't have anything to add, just wanted to give a big virtual hug. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-the-diagnoses-keep-adding-up-and-clinic-update#post-807891 Fri, 24 May 2013 15:57:25 +0000 justdarling 807891@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm glad the SHG went well. But I am sorry about the change in the diagnosis. That really wouldn't sit well with me either. It would have been better if they discussed it with you before you read it on the paperwork. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-the-diagnoses-keep-adding-up-and-clinic-update#post-807890 Fri, 24 May 2013 15:56:22 +0000 pui 807890@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ouch. :( I hope you get some answers soon. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-the-diagnoses-keep-adding-up-and-clinic-update#post-807873 Fri, 24 May 2013 15:49:17 +0000 mrs. 64 807873@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm sorry. My friend is going through the same thing and wondered why they can't come up with a slightly better name than that. :( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-the-diagnoses-keep-adding-up-and-clinic-update#post-807868 Fri, 24 May 2013 15:48:00 +0000 marionberry 807868@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@spaniellove: I'm glad everything looked good! Your clinic is really unorganized though...having you do this in prep for something you're not doing anytime soon. And at least you got a pic of the screen. I never got a pic of anything because they never left it up when I was alone in there. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-the-diagnoses-keep-adding-up-and-clinic-update#post-807865 Fri, 24 May 2013 15:46:33 +0000 blackbird 807865@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My paperwork had me listed the same (also 2). My dr said that newer research says 2 is just as bad as 3, so they start diagnosis early. I know that for my chromosome typing to be covered, it had to be coded juuuust right because infertility isn't technically covered </p> <p>I hope you get some answers &lt;3 </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-the-diagnoses-keep-adding-up-and-clinic-update#post-807861 Fri, 24 May 2013 15:42:42 +0000 spaniellove 807861@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Twine: It's possible they used the code to get the RPL panel or karyotyping covered? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-the-diagnoses-keep-adding-up-and-clinic-update#post-807849 Fri, 24 May 2013 15:37:11 +0000 Mrs. Twine 807849@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Do you think the coding might have been an attempt to get coverage of something for you? It does sound awfully harsh, especially given your actual history. But maybe they had some other reason for coding that way? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-the-diagnoses-keep-adding-up-and-clinic-update#post-807842 Fri, 24 May 2013 15:32:48 +0000 Mrs.Someone 807842@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ugh, way to add insult to injury :( FWIW, most doctors consider 2 m/cs to still be normal. Not sure I agree with that, but I definitely don't agree with your new "diagnosis"! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-the-diagnoses-keep-adding-up-and-clinic-update#post-807835 Fri, 24 May 2013 15:27:36 +0000 spaniellove 807835@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@marionberry: It was totally clear. And it turns out they did schedule it thinking I was about to do IVF! When it came up and I said I wasn't planning on doing it anytime soon, they were like well why are we doing this then? I also got busted taking a picture of my ute off the screen, lol. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-the-diagnoses-keep-adding-up-and-clinic-update#post-807833 Fri, 24 May 2013 15:23:56 +0000 marionberry 807833@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@spaniellove: I'm so sorry. Reading that must've bothered you. I know it would've bothered me and seems a bit premature given only two. And I'm so sorry you got sick off of those antibiotics. I'm really hoping that you'll get answers soon! Did they say anything about your SHG? Did they find anything? Praying for you! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-the-diagnoses-keep-adding-up-and-clinic-update#post-807826 Fri, 24 May 2013 15:19:57 +0000 spaniellove 807826@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I finally had my sonohysterogram today, although not before some major GI upset and vomiting from the antibiotics the clinic had me on. </p> <p>After all the drama I've gone through over the past month or two with this clinic, the doctor I saw today sat down with me for a long time and combed through my records to figure out what testing I could possibly get done. So they finished up the RPL panel and drew blood for karyotyping. On my way home, when I looked at the lab paperwork I saw that they'd changed my diagnosis code from 628.9 (infertility) to 629.81...habitual aborter. Ouch. They went there. </p>
