denied a center change request

« on: August 22, 2011, 04:07:29 PM »

I want to change dialysis centers, but I'm always getting denied by my center for the change request. I've tried 3 times. Where does one go after this? I wish I could just pickup and leave centers without my center having to do anything.
Thanks.

Sullidog, contact your Network.

http://www.esrdncc.org/

Have you located the facility that you want to go to? Have you spoken to them? http://www.medicare.gov/Dialysis

More important, have you checked your new facility out on the Propublica database? http://projects.propublica.org/dialysis/

Oh Sulli, what's going on? I'm sorry you're having problems but I thought you were happy in the new Fresnuis center. Hang in there...

TS, this is a post from August. I think sulli has changed centers since then.

Yep I made this before I changed to FMC. It took being admited to the hospital to make the change.
