Did you happen to have referral from your PCP or ob/gyn before to see the urologist? If you did, you might be able to have the bill covered. I agree with you though that his office should of told you that he would be covered in a week. I hope things get straightened out for you so that bill doesn't have to come totally out of your own pocket.
I'm glad that you were able to get your medical records from the hospital. I don't think there will be anything from that ob/gyn unless you were admitted to the hospital under her care. In that case there will be info from when you were in there. Hopefully it will be enough to get the adhesions surgeon to take care of you. Trying to get all this stuff taken care of can be a real pain. Just be persistant! Take care of yourself!
Big hugs, Jenny
