I was scheduled to be seen July 11th, at John Hopkins.
My insurance has since denied the referral- they do not want to pay for a doctor out of network, even with the clincial notes from my previous neuro.
I do however, have the option to pay out of pocket.
I met with a new neuromuscular specialists on Friday. An emg has been scheduled for next month.
I know a second opinion is always advised; therefore, pending my EMG results, is it necessary to go to a 'bigger' hospital/clinic for such?
Will another local specialist, suffice?
I am asking as I do not want to cancel my appointment, without some guidance.
