Booo on your insurance. I think some (or all) evaluate based on the patient's age. Since I'm not the oldest of fogies, I got in like lickety split upon evaluation and need. I felt like the President or somebody. Blue Cross PPO. Or maybe I just have better insurance? Either way, sucks. Good luck to you, goodman. :)
