Disney - My RE is not a Kaiser doctor. I opted to get treatment at an out of network fertility center. I didn't like the way I was being treated at Kaiser. They seemed too concerned with protecting their clinic's favorable statistics. The 2 doctors that ran the clinic were very insensitive. And the main RN there was a real witch. I didn't feel comfortable there. I didn't feel like they had my best interest at heart. So, I went elsewhere for treatment. I do try to utilize my Kaiser insurance as much as possible when I can. My regular ob/gyn doctor at Kaiser is awesome. She's the one that ordered the blood clotting tests for me. I asked her to order the NK test as well, but she said she's never heard of it and its not offered at their laboratory.
Yes, I agree that it would be nice/GREAT if Anthem could pay for your hysteroscopy. I've had that done before and it cost me $800 out of pocket. I'm going to call Quest Diagnostics and Lab Corp in the morning and see if I can get the NK test done there. But, first I'm going to call the Kaiser lab and verify that the test isn't offered. I don't trust these Kaiser doctors sometimes. I also need to get a saline sonogram on CD7-12. I already know I'll be paying out of pocket for that diagnostic procedure. I'm just going to have my RE do it at the fertility office. Seems like it would be quicker than dealing with Kaiser. Plus, I want them to get a good look in my uterus, since they're going to be the one's doing my FET. It just makes more sense for my fertility clinic to do it. I feel your frustrations of having to pay out of pocket for much of your IVF expenses. xx
