      I saw the doctor yesterday at Hershey Med. He immediately sent me to retinal specialist who said I have choroidal nevi in both eyes. They took photos and I go back in 3 months.

       

      Sort of anti climatic day.

      I have had insurance, Medicare Advantage, for a few years. But now Pa has a new plan Medicare Assured Plus. It covers anyone who has diabetes or heart disease irregardless of income. So it's the best of two worlds where Medicaid is combined with Medicare and has fantastic coverage.  I have diabetes as does my DH so we both start tomorrow. 

       

      We are not people who run to the doctor a lot so this is going to be confusing for me.  I am going to keep a journal of all visits, services and charges and try to keep the situation under control.

      I was going to wait the 3 months but had a checkup the next week with my family doctor and he said NOW, he is proactive that way, though I had to wait until January for my insurance to go into effect.

      Thanks Sue, That helps a lot. I'm hoping I can make an advocate of the the Hershey doctor.  I am dreading the business aspects more than the medical.
