Plan update

Mh looked into our insurance, and for us, the ordering doctor matters for testing coverage. He called and talked the three different reps.

So, no Dr. KK if we want to use our insurance.

Current plan is to see Dr. Cou lam first and get some of the testing done (and covered) and make the switch to Dr. KK later if necessary. The good news is that Dr. Cou lam can see us on May 6 which is much sooner than I thought.

I feel like I am rolling the dice here, but this seems like the most logical first step to get some more answers but use the insurance we are lucky enough to have.

Our WTF is next Tuesday with the RE.
