I have gotten my information packet from MDWise but I had to call to get my RID number and assigned physician. Today I got my second POWER account bill from MDWise, but it said I didn’t owe anything. I tried to call my physician to schedule a physical and they said that the doctor was no longer accepting additional patients and that I would need to call MDWise to work that out. So far, my experience with the HIP has been one of a lack of communication, clarity, and knowledge by the people I’ve talked to both on the FSSA side and the MDWise side.<\/p>\n
Update:<\/strong>\u00c2\u00a0 I called MDWise and was able to speak with someone pretty promptly.\u00c2\u00a0 She told me that I would have to pick another doctor and pointed me to the list (actually a search) on the MDWise web site<\/a>.\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0 She had some trouble pronouncing the doctors names which wasn’t a problem because I had the web page in front of me, but would have been really confusing if I was just on the phone.\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0 She had to list the names because not all of the doctors were accepting patients.\u00c2\u00a0 She said that I should pick a doctor and call MDWise back.\u00c2\u00a0 She said it would take 3-5 business days to make the switch and notify the doctor’s office and that I couldn’t call the doctor I chose to make an appointment until after that.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" I have gotten my information packet from MDWise but I had to call to get my RID number and assigned physician.
