In February River City took over as IPA for my insurance and it has been a nightmare ever since. I have severe endometriosis and am in need of surgery to extract the endo implants, remove adhesions that are gluing my insides together, and possibly a full hysterectomy with bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy. My gynecologist referred me to an oncology gynecologist, which River City denied. I was then told they had authorization to send me to UC Davis instead, but then River City denied that as well. They authorized to send me to a specialist in Roseville....an ABORTION specialist contracted with Planned Parenthood. That they are too stupid to know the difference between a hysterectomy and an abortion is horrifying and this is completely unacceptable. So now I have to wait for the referral to be bounced back to the insurance AGAIN in hopes that they'll get it right. I'm already being treated by a board certified OB/GYN...why they thought to send me to a lower level clinic in place of a surgeon at an actual hospital is beyond me! As soon as I get this issue resolved I'm finding another medical group.
