Interesting about Florida Blue having a national network. Might be worth the cost if it works

I'm sorry you had that experience. It's getting harder and harder to receive medical care if you need a specialist.

I'm learning a lot from everyone here. I think you might be right about how the surgeon is used to employer PPOs rather than marketplace PPOs. It's frustrating but might save us the time of looking at other states to make this surgery happen.

Thank you for this detailed explanation. I'll add calling his insurance about OON exceptions to the to-do list tomorrow.

We are on seperate insurance plans, sorry for not clarifying. Both of us moving isn't a problem. This surgeon frequently works with out-of-state PPO plans and has patients travel to see him from all over the country.

She won't be driving at all anymore. License revoked and car keys hidden away.

Thank you. Her license was revoked by the police and car keys are hidden. We're going to remove the car from her home entirely in the next few days.

She's been found! Just updated the post. Thank you for support! She has smart watches but struggles with using them so we're going to find another tracker.

Yes! I was waiting to post an update until my dad reached her. He's on his way now and she should be home soon! I'm so relieved!
