Guest guest Posted June 29, 2004 Report Share Posted June 29, 2004 9 times out of 10, the doctor has no clue regarding the insurance. Besides, just because one person has Humana, that doesn't mean they have the same plan. Our company offers a variey of plans under one PPO. We offer 4 plans where I work, but they are all with the same insurance company, just different premiums and different co-pays, etc. Sneaky just works, so you can get around the nasty confrontations that always take place with regard to vacs. a -- " merrywbee " <maryandphilip@...> wrote: I'm not above being sneaky either! Another twist on your post would be to say that you always get them done at the local health dept because that's where your sister-in-law works and the kids are used to their aunt being there. The insurance thing might not work if they have other kids in their practice with the same insurance carrier/policy that they know DO get coverage for vaxes (ex. if the parent works for a popular employer in the area then there'll be lots of families in that area with the same policy). :-) W > > This is why you go to the doctor and you say, " Hey, do the check-up portion, but not the immunizations, because I'll take him to the health department, since my insurance does not cover them here and it is cheaper to get them there. " This worked every time with my kids. When I go back to the doc, he occassionally says, " Can we get copies of their vac records from the health dept? " I usually say, " Oh yeah, I'll get that for you. " I know this is sneaky, but I've found that being open and honest in this area just does not work. > > a ======================================================= Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 29, 2004 Report Share Posted June 29, 2004 That's great that you found a supportive doctor. Personally I don't care for doctors at all. Here in Peoria IL, you won't find a doctor who will abide and support your decision to not vaccinate. It is a very conservative medical community, and I don't know one parent that has found a doctor who will support their anti-vaccine view. Plus, my insurance dictates what doctors I can see, and that leaves me a choice of about 6, because the company I work for is based in Chicago, where the choice is plentiful. We are considered somewhat out of network, and none of the doctors on the list will support my view or any other parents view. I can't afford to just take my kids to any old doctor and pay for it out of my pocket. If you can, great for you! As far as being dishonest goes, how many people out there hand the school a " religious " exemption, yet their decision to not vaccinate has nothing to do with religion? A whole bunch. a -- " joshhelp " <@...> wrote: By being dishonest to the doctor you are no better than the doctor.

Guest guest Posted June 29, 2004 Report Share Posted June 29, 2004 Yes, but it is a double edge sword. There have been people on this list that have been 100% honest with their doctors, and CPS, comes knocking on their door anyway, because the parent told the doctor about plans to chelate, supplement, and not vaccinate, etc. Pretty much the safest bet, is to just be healthy and avoid doctors at all costs....just my 2 cents. a -- " Jodi " <a4givensinner@...> wrote: Lying like that has the potential to backfire BIG TIME. It's not worth it to me to take the risk of lying if somewhere down the road there is even the potential possibility of someone forcing a vax b/c of the lie. Just my " paranoid " $0.02...*grin*, from a mom who almost had that happen to her kids. ________________________________________________________________ The best thing to hit the Internet in years - Juno SpeedBand!

Guest guest Posted June 29, 2004 Report Share Posted June 29, 2004 I no longer think of a " conservative medical community " . Instead, I think of head-in-the-sand individuals who are willing to induce neurologic injury for profit and then profit for years thereafter by charging for symptoms-evalutions and for prescriptions for masking symptoms induced as a result of iatrogenic neurologic injuries. On behalf of pharmcos and their primary stockholders (ie, primary financial beneficiaries), there is a totally corrupt system supported by laws and most media. The CDC, FDA, AMA, and AAP's biggest wigs are collusional co-conspirators in this ongoing tragedy. The semantic equivalent of " conservative medical community " is " evil medical community " . Of course, not all physicians are part of the iatrogenic evil, but too many are willing to bury their heads in the sand, to look the other way, to bow obediently when the CDC says, Bend thy knee, the king hath spoken. pjand3kids wrote: >That's great that you found a supportive doctor.
