Sad fact. You know what I don’t understand? Many of healthcare providers have been on Guam for DECADES, but the politicians don’t show much appreciation of us. Then when external facilities to recruit patients, politicians come flocking over to say thank you thank you. So often, they forget that every day, healthcare providers and local clinics have dedicated DECADES in helping the people of Guam.

Something the health insurance companies take for granted. No other board certified obgyn provides their patient with their cell phone number in solo practice for 30 years plus. Something I am proud of and it makes a big difference for my patients. This is the difference between a 24 hour post op stay vs a 3 day post op or more stay in a hospital. This is the difference between a patient having to go to the emergency room and wait sometimes over 6 hours. This is the difference between having to make an appointment and wait days or weeks, vs just a call or a message to ask an urgent question for reassurance. At times, this makes a real difference in saving a baby or a mom’s life when there is a question on movement, or bleeding. I know my patients don’t take this privilege for granted.

Attn: Calvo’s High-Risk OB patients & previous c sections. Our status on your transfer of care remains the same. Reasons. We do not wish for you to be delayed in care or paying more out of pocket.

Patients have shared with us, the “standard email response to them from Calvo’s, indicating, that we must continue to see them, regardless…”. That is not a true statement, we are not slaves.

Here’s the truth.

1. Too many pre authorization demands. It delays care especially to high-risk OB patients, in addition to increase labor costs on staffing in administrative time, no other insurance requires the same. It’s overwhelming on my staff, we rather spend more clinical time at bedside with patients.

2. SelectCare breached our agreement by failing to reimbursement for high-risk procedures done. We feel that patients paid their premiums and indicated services should be covered, and we rather not collect that from patients. Other insurances have reimbursed for the exact same procedures. We have an overhead and staffing salary that has to be kept up in order for us to provide the highest quality of care to you.

All that is said, we will attempt one more time to reach out to Calvo’s Insurance, but we cannot continue to spend more time on these issues. We rather spend the time taking care of patients in need with a long waiting list.

If all does not work out, the agreement with Calvo’s SelectCare will be nullified mediately due to breach. We hope that it does not come to that, but we feel that you deserve to know, rather than getting a standard email from them, which we disagree. Those who know me, I am straight forward.

For nearly 30 years, I have served Guam and will continue to serve with or without third party payers support. I have done a lot of charity work, and will continue, but not on behalf of insurance companies.

All my established patients have my personal cell, you can still contact me if anything you need that is urgent.

Thank you for reading.

Educational Post: Patient - Clinic - Insurance Company. It’s what I call, healthcare’s “Bermuda Triangle.”

It’s true, when there is a disagreement between the clinic and insurance company, patients are caught in the middle. I am also a patient and I know exactly how it feels when a doctor provides me the opportunity to transfer care because my insurance has not lived up to their expectations or asked me to contact my insurance to discuss further.

I know I know. “Why do I have to talk to the insurance company when the problem is between my doctor and them?”

I used to think that way too, but then I thought about it. I am the one paying my premiums and I expect my insurance company to cover me, and not be a burden to my doctor who is doing her best to provide me the highest standard of care. Things like waiting for my prior authorization to be approved often delays the test I need, or failing or delay in reimbursing my clinic for the work they’ve done.

So, when there is a conflict between my insurance company and my doctor or clinic, I will call my insurance and ask what is going on? Then the insurance rep tells me one thing, “oh don’t worry, you don’t need to transfer, or something else…….,” and contradicts my doctor.

WHO SHOULD I BELIEVE???????

That is easy, if I don’t believe my doctor or clinic, then I should transfer care, because why should I trust my doctor to take care of my health, if she is lying to me about my insurance issues? No way I am not staying, I will for sure transfer and my insurance better find me an experienced qualified doctor, ultimately I depend on them to ensure they know who they have credentialed.

But the FACT is, I trust my doctor, I don’t want to transfer and my doctor really don’t want me to leave, so I usually end up advocating for myself with my health insurance company. End of the day, I appreciate my doctor for letting me know and being forthcoming.

For the last 27 years, I have had just one insurance company and that’s StayWell, so when my doctor have an issue, I speak up, I advocate, and end of the day, my doctor is still my doctor.

So be your own advocate.

To my left. Former Lt. Gov and Senator, to my right, future Senator. We are Air Force, Navy, and Army. Together we have close to 100 years of healthcare experience in Guam! It’s a pleasure to have served along side in so many medical missions. Let’s plan on a few more before we head into the sunset in 20 more years. 🤣✌🏼Hopefully the new administration, whoever gets elected will listen to us.
