Re the authorization and insurance jobs for DD, she would not be happy in a situation where the focus is on turning down the patient. She also needs to work with other people to the extent that's possible. She is very much an extrovert, kind of my opposite.
YOur suggestions did give me an idea, though, to look for a job providing advice, maybe for a physicians' practice. She is awesome on the phone. Plus, she has several years of experience in the hospital working with maternity cases, so post-partum and newborn patients.
Thanks, I feel a bit better.

chiver78 and anyone else interested in MS Office for home, Stacksocial.com sells the licensed version of Office 2021, the last one out before they went to the annual fee subscription platform, for $30-$40. It's a one-time fee and you do get updates from Microsoft. FYI I think Microsoft is going to stop updating Office 2021 in the next few years though. FWIW, I have Office 2021 and will keep it as long as possible!

Going to brag about my kid.
Gwen made honor's orchestra again for cello.
She's moved up to junior in ballet, jazz, lyrical and hip hop at her dance studio.
She made it all the way to senior for Tap.
She made the cut last week for cheer so she was in her first half time show last Friday.
So glad and proud that all her hard work is paying off for her. She really loves dance.

Nut just texted teen that she can meet teen tomorrow morning for dental walk-in appt. Lady let me get my hand puppets and explain this to you AGAIN step by step like you're 4...the 3 of us went to first walk-in appt together in April got antibiotics and they said go to dental school to get it pulled. Then in May you gave me medical proxy at that medical group. The next day teen and I went at 530 am to stand in line for dental school walk-in. We were 7th in line, office opened at 8, they took 10 walk-ins so we squeaked in. Dentist said yep needs to be pulled make an appt on the way out. That appt was in June, they tried to pull it but didn't work, make next appt a couple weeks later for more senior dentist to try pulling it. Nope, not numb enough and too complicated, referred to oral surgeon. Called and called to get appt there which you NUT went with us to in Aug. They consulted and said yes pull it. You were present in the fucking room and I was not bc you wouldn't allow it. So I made next appt for Oct and then called and called to grab cancelation spot last week which you then proceeded to ignore paperwork for medical release for anesthesia. Fucking moron. I'm beginning to think she's both vindictive and stupid. How can she possibly think teen can just walk in original office and have it pulled? DH's guess is that she is worried that medicaid won't pay for anesthesia. Um, well they will if nut can be bothered to fill out medical referral including ins info. And she could have asked that at appt. I would have had I been allowed to talk to them. Or she could just call and ask now. Meanwhile teen said another part of tooth broke off last night at dinner so daily pain went from 8 to 12 out of 10. Left msg with social worker first thing this morning...no call back. Will call again tomorrow. That poor girl! Tooth pain is no joke and this should have absolutely been taken care of right away. Of course, that comes from a place of having a parent who actually cares about my well-being. I can't believe nut hasn't been taken to task for the gross neglect yet. What happens when there's an abscess or infection that spreads? She needs to face consequences before something happens to teen.

I am guessing it flies under the radar because it can be argued that she technically doesn't need an oral surgeon. They can recommend she go to one but she doesn't "need" one. She can have the tooth pulled in horrific and poor fashion by the Medicaid dentist just fine.
Nut isn't doing anything illegal by not taking her to the oral surgeon when there is a Medicaid approved dentist she can go to. She has the right to insist teen go there.
That is part of why I roll my eyes so hard I can see my brain when posters on here and in the past claim life is wonderful and full of perks when you are on government assistance. Not even fucking close often times it's bottom of the barrel for you in that case and if you want better care you better find the money for it yourself.
They don't care if you can't get in for months either. You have a dentist so Medicaid considers their job done. Not their problem it's the only dentist within miles and they are booked till the end of time.
It's why people in poverty have such poor health stats. They can't get in to see anyone and when they do it's often subpar care.
ETA: I am not disagreeing that she should see an oral surgeon I am just saying that there are a lot of BS rules regarding Medicaid that make nut well within her legal rights as the parent. She's still a shitty parent but she's toeing the law.

Our clinic has a wonderful nurse hotline to answer routine questions - it's very helpful.

In this case, Medicaid dentist made referral to oral surgeon because they couldn't pull it so I think it should 100% be covered including anesthesia. That's part of why oral surgeon needed nut to gather referral from Medicaid dentist. I went around nut and had Medicaid therapist's office social worker track down referral and send it directly to oral surgeon. Oral surgeon confirmed receipt last month. It's on my list to call oral surgeon to see if they've heard anything new from anyone yet this week. Head of school social worker is advising that I limit my interactions with children's services so it doesn't look like I'm trying to usurp nut's parental rights. Meanwhile children's services doesn't seem to like talking directly to teen unless abs necessary since she's a minor. It's a whole brain fuck. I just left a voicemail about tooth pain with children's services. Second ambulance bill arrived for $1500. I've gone no contact with nut so will just hold it until I see social worker or have another conduit to send it to nut. Google tells me that Medicaid should pay 100% of this and the previous $700 one. I seem to remember SIL using ambulance multiple times when her kids were younger and not having to pay. Anyone know?

Honestly, at this point, I'd be just offering to pay cash for the procedure and part of my reasoning would just be to spite her.

OMG. Why aren't people finishing off these doughnuts by the printer so the temptation is gone? It's been a loooong morning especially since there are Maple Long Johns with bacon in the bunch. Those are my kryptonite.

Position of clinical research associate. They travel to hospitals and doctors offices to check the medical records of patients participating in clinical research studies. No patient contact

Honestly, at this point, I'd be just offering to pay cash for the procedure and part of my reasoning would just be to spite her. I'm pretty sure the lovely people at YM would donate to the cause. Oral surgeon quoted $2800 out of pocket and I would have gladly paid that weeks/months ago but Nut won't sign consent for me to take teen to be treated (she insists on being present) AND Nut won't sign consent for Children's hospital to sign medical release paperwork for teen to have oral surgery after getting this new psychogenic seizure diagnosis. Kind of kicking myself for letting oral surgeon know about seizure diagnosis and ya know doing the right thing to try to keep teen medically safe. Typing that out made me wonder if I could enlist new psychologist to give medical consent for surgery and then hound nut for permission to send to oral surgeon. I don't have a trusted in at the psych office yet and I'm sure there's a giant red flag in the file saying don't talk to Azucena or nut will sue. I am getting pretty good at having one-sided conversations though. You can't talk to me, HIPAA blah blah blah, but I can talk to you about teen. Next appt there isn't until 10/9.
