Stupid health insurance and Medicare. Was on the phone with Humana today, and wondered why the person always called me Mr.. I finally asked and was told that I have the gender identifier M in their files, the right nae but an M. I asked to please change it, and was told they can't do this because they depend on the input of Medicare. I asked if Medicare has me as a horse, would they als consider me tobe a horse, and the answer was yes!
I went onto the horn with SS, and asked what they have me as, and I was told as F. Medicare supposedly draws their info from SS and they seem to have not changed my gender yet. I have the new medicare card with my new name on, but it has no gender marker on.
I think I have to do a little telephone fighting tomorrow, to get that corrected ASAP. Because I am sick and tired to sit in a medical waiting area and being called Mr, and come up like a woman!
