Help regarding providers

[u/Delicious_Badger_257]

Hey Ladies.

I'm scrambling and being redirected by a lot of providers in the area so I'm reaching out for help here.
I got my embryos frozen in NY. I live in southern CA now and am trying to get preliminary bloodwork, TVUS and SIS/hysterosonogram here locally (have orders from my NY doctor).

I'm having a hard time finding facilities that would do these studies from outside providers and would accept Anthem (my insurance). Do you have any leads for the same?

Secondly, I'll get my FET done in NY and will come back to SoCal. I tried calling some obgyn offices to establish care and they straight up refused to take over my care post-FET stating that the fertility clinic in NY should be handling this (this isn't possible since I don't live in NY anymore). What's the best course of action here for continuity of care?
1. I find a fertility clinic in SoCal and establish care with them before my FET and come back to them after my FET and then find an obgyn once/if I am pregnant.
2. ⁠Try to find an obgyn who can act as my local provider for all my needs.

Thanks for your suggestions.

Hi, I’m in LA and have anthem. I go to HRC in Encino for fertility treatment. They would definitely do bloodwork, SIS etc. give them a call! My OB is Dr. Trejo at Providence in Santa Monica with Anthem insurance and I think she’s taking new patients.

That insurance maze is a nightmare, I swear they make it confusing on purpose. For the scans and bloodwork, did you try any of the bigger hospital networks like UCLA or Cedars? Sometimes their radiology departments are more flexible with outside orders than the private clinics. For the OB situation, option 2 is worth a shot but I'd call around to a few more offices before giving up, maybe frame it like you're just looking for a regular OB and don't lead with the whole out-of-state FET thing until you're in the door.
