@meggomy_eggo The hospital agreed and granted an exception and discounted it by 50%. Some states also have MRI centers that offer them at a reduced cost. My state did not, but if you live near a major city, you may have better luck with that!

Was just listening to an old ep of @TrueCrimeObsess covering a #billyjensen oxygen doc when I read about the recent allegations him and the lawsuit. I hope you guys will consider taking down eps covering his work ❤️
@healthvermont Why is @UVMHealth_CVMC telling me they won’t have clinics for another month and won’t be accepting appointments for this??? We’ve all know this would be approved on June 15th since April. PLEASE set up state clinics earlier than end of July!!
