Can you try Legacy in Portland? I don't know about Seattle. I'm currently with OHSU but was first listed with Legacy. I liked them better but had to switch when my insurance changed.

Why does OHSU say you are not qualified at this time?

Since Legacy is out, can you talk with someone at OHSU to address the reason(s) they don't think you're qualified.  If OHSU thinks its an issue, Seattle might as well, so I would work on minimizing whatever the issue is before approaching Seattle.  I really wish Legacy accepted more insurance carriers.  I really miss the level of communication they had with their coordinators.  At OHSU I'm constantly playing phone tag if they call back at all.

Hmmm...well thats harder to work on. Seattle might have a different opinion than OHSU but not sure as I've never dealt with Seattle. Might not hurt to try at least.
