I just got a call that got me all riled up.
I care for my elderly mother. I have power of attorney.
I quit her AARP and signed up for a reasonable medicare replacement plan.
The called and wanted to talk to her. I said I am her son, you can talk to me.
To be short
they are requesting that she get a physical with their doctor
I asked, this physical cannot be done by her PCP?
NO.
Then I decline
I've shortened the whole conversation, but several points along the way it seemed like they had never had anyone give push-back and couldn't answer the questions I had associated with the push-back. I told them to send me their position on writing and I'll discuss it with her.
Did I fuck up? How can going to their doctor be to my advantage?
