Here are my thoughts on what I encountered when I called to schedule my first prenatal appt. We have had Kaiser since being married. I love it. Never any complaints. And every time I got pregnant the routine went like this:
-I call Kaiser and schedule an appt. to verify that I am in fact preggo.
- when that is confirmed in office, I continue with my initial pap, do all my blood work and schedule future appts.
Pretty easy and straight forward. Not complicated or seemingly weird.
So I was expecting the same drill when I called this week. Um....not how things work now.
How much has changed in 3 years I'm wondering?
So now, when I call they send my info to some prenatal call center or something, I have to wait for someone to call me back and let me know what's going on.
I get the call, and I have to schedule some kind of phone interview before I can be seen for the first time. The call takes about 30 min. and it goes over all the stuff I would have filled out in office. I guess they want to save on paper or something.
Then when that interview is complete they schedule my first appt. with blood work etc. I don't have to go in and pee in a cup for them to tell me I'm pregnant. They just take my word for it. Strange... if you ask me.
So I said let's schedule this thing and the first available time is in November. November 2 to be exact. Ok whatever. The only thing I can think is I probably won't be seen in office until mid to late November, putting me at after 9-10 weeks. Isn't that a little late to be seen for your first appt.?
Just a thought.
