almost 8 years agoHealth insurance issue
Oh No
I am on Medicaid. My insurer, Molina, does not do business with most GYN surgeons in Seattle. I am bleeding. My OBGYN has a call in about me to the GYN surgery practice to which she referred me. They are not answering her call because Molina does no business with them. I need care. My doctor needs advice.

Experience with
Uterine Leiomyosarcoma
almost 8 years agoBack to my doctors of 18 years.
Celebration
I am on Medicaid. I am on Molina insurance. Molina does not work with Virginia Mason Medical Center. I had to change physicians, lost wonderful doctors. They found a loophole. VMMC requested my care be returned to them. Two victories: Virginia Mason physician is Oncologist and surgeon. Virginia Mason physician is diabetologist.

Procedure or Surgery
Two surgeries and I am about to start chemo. The surgery went beautifully but the after effects, mostly from both episodes of anesthesia, are disabling.
