Medical Costs - Dr. Boachie

Bypass the office staff

I agree with lelc. You need to go above the office staff & speak directly with Dr. Boachie. It's possible that he is unaware of the situation.

Sounds like Dr. Boachie’s office really drops the ball when it comes to administrative type stuff. The last think you need is to be treated like this at a time when your emotions are already stressed to the max. And this is not the first time I am hearing of this. I personally know of two people from the Chicagoland area who attempted to see Dr. Boachie for an evaluation and were given the same runaround. They ended up going elsewhere.

My prayers are with you as you struggle through this maze of beauracracy.

I agree. There is probably no one more suited to handle your daughter's surgery. I would insist on speaking directly to the doctor, and also try emailing him at boachie@hss "." edu (note delete spaces and quotes). I am confident that if the doctor spoke with you directly, he would work this out. He is a very compassionate man who wrote off thousands that my insurance didn't pay without so much as a call from us. The staff made us feel like we were going to have to take a second mortgage to pay for the balance, but that was simply not the case. I wish you the very best, and will keep you in our thoughts and prayers.
