Why does coordinating my kid's specialist referrals fall entirely on me?
Parents become unpaid case managers, chasing referrals, faxing records, scheduling across specialists, tracking pre-auths.
Who has it: Parents of medically complex kids, adult children of seniors, anyone post-major-diagnosis.
Evidence
Parents describe referrals that the specialist's office says never arrived, followed by repeated calls to every office involved.
