DENIED......AGAIN!!!!!

Well, I finally heard from my insurance company and yep, I am denied again. I just got the letter out of the mailbox a few minutes ago and I almost didn't open it because I knew I wouldn't be able to sleep either way. Well, the anticipation of it being good news got to me and I opened it. Bad idea!!! What is even more frustrating this time is the reason for denial. Here is the reason they give: The physician did not call back with appeal information. It doesn't even say what physician so I don't even know who to be upset with right now. What a dumb reason to deny me though!!! I know this is not the end but the waiting has been horrible. I started this journey in July and here is 5 months later and still no end in sight. I am not giving up, just frustrated right now because there is no one I can call to start another appeal process until morning. Thanks for listening to me vent. On a lighter note, I am so glad that the dr put me on anti anxiety meds. I am actually handling this situation tear free. It may seem like I am very upset (and I am) but I don't feel all knotted up on the inside like I normally would. So, thank God for this medication. He knew what was coming and knew I would need it.

Robyn, I know how you feel. Last year at this time I wa****ting road blocks myself and was very upset. My surgery seemed like only something I wanted and could not get. I continued to fight and didn't get my approval until the day before surgery. It will be all worth it in the long run. This time next year you will be on the losing side and can help someone else who is where you are today. You may of lost this battle but you haven't lost the war. Continue to fight and know you have a whole lot of us pulling for you. Vent anytime you want . That is what we are here for. take care and have a wonderful Christmas. I am starting that Jazzercise class at Milford Bowling Alley on Tuesday. See you lighter. Joanne

Hang in there honey and FIGHT! This time you submit everything yourself. Call them and find out EXACTLY what they need.
