I am also thankful the state decided to cover wls last year. I don't know where I would be now without my DS. Life is so different and I feel so much better withthis weight off. I wish continued health and success to all my shbp family. We fought so hard for this, but it was worth every phone call, letter, and e-mail.

Yes, we fought very hard to get this in the first place and it will be the fight we get to win for the rest of our lives.
Though I have to say, I'm not very happy with Cobb County right now. I stayed with the Cigna HRA plan for this year, though this year, I signed up to have $50/month ($600/year) taken from my paycheck to help cover the $1100 deductible. I'm already thru the $1100 (according the the Cigna website, waiting on the doctor bill) but didn't realize that the $600 didn't "work" the same as the first $500 the SHBP gives us. I had to fill a prescription for a VERY expensive antibiotic this weekend ($350 worth of antibiotic). Now, I have to "submit" that bill to Cobb County for reimbursement. I filled it Friday late afternoon and called HR first this this am to find out how I get reimbursed. Apparently, submissions are due the 1st Friday of the month and then they reimburse with the NEXT PAYCHECK. So, I won't get reimbursed until my MARCH PAYCHECK! I must admit, I'm a bit ticked...I have things like a mortgage, electric, gas, etc. to pay. ARGH! The only "light" is that I'm now working on the max-out-of-pocket expense for the year, so everything now is an 85/15 split. I can handle that. And hopefully, my infectious disease doctor will have some answers too!
Is this how it works in other counties with the reimbursement? I was just hoping I could send them the bills and I would get a check cut just for that rather than them waiting for my paycheck.
