Quick, someone snatch up the 11th or 12th! Those are a Tuesday and a Wednesday, not the usual M/F/S.
Dear Holly, I know you are perhaps toxically overworked (!) and in dire need of that assistant. The status of my insurance company must be low on the list of priorities and I don't think you have an answer yet. But when you do, shoot me an email, ok? Day or night....

My dear Cece, I can honestly say that no more than a few days have gone by at a time since I scheduled you without my worrying about, if not inquiring about, your insurance clearing. Despite the projected January clearance, your insurance hasn't cleared yet but I figure we still have a little time before rescheduling, the month is yet young. However if you would like to reschedule now we certainly can; please PM me.
FOR EVERYONE:
1. There is currently one January date still available for treatment with Dr. Sclafani; it's Wednesday, January 12th. Your ultrasound, assuming you need one, would be done Monday, January 10th at 577 Prospect Avenue in Brooklyn. The treatment (venography and angio) would be at 2025 Richmond Avenue in Staten Island. (Brooklyn treatments are Mondays, Fridays and Saturdays at this point.) Please PM me immediately if interested, but be aware that in Staten Island we can only currently accommodate patients who are either self-paying or have Medicare.
2. It might help to clarify for all that since Dr. Sclafani is now utilizing two new-to-him facilities we have to wait for the lengthy new insurance credentialing submisstions to clear. Here's what's cleared to-date for Brooklyn (where he's doing almost all his treatments):
Cigna
Comprehensive Care Management Corporation
Empire BC/BS
MagnaCare
Medicaid
Medicare
MultiPlan/PHCS
UHC Empire Plan
