Yep, I'll be revising that letter, trust me.
Round one is done. I was able to get a referral faxed from my GP and I have an appointment with the neuro at the end of November. BTW, I just had to ask, if I'm a new patient, does that mean you no longer have any of my records.

She said, oh no, we have all your records right here. My health plan administrator said the main reason they do this is so they can charge the insurance company more money. It appears they get more money when you're coded as a new patient than as an established one. Scam artists!
Off to do some internet research on our laws.
