sad very sad!!!! (very long)

Well I haven't heard anything from my insurence, and get this they even said that they haven't received my paperwork. So I called Jenifer at Dr. Duncan's office, and she said it was sent off Dec.1; and the only thing she can do now is mail it again. I can't even begin to tell you the sad, sad feelings I have. I think that the insurence is holding my paperwor****il Jan.1. so they won't have to cover the surgery. I don't want to bring anyone eles down . Just looking for some encouragemet. I feel like all is lost. I want so much to have a happy ending to this disease and a great beginning to a new life, but right now I can't see through the storm, and I'm sinking fast. Sorry I'm down in the dumps. I wish you all well, and Happy stress-free holidays Dawn

Dawn, Take a deep breath. It's all going to be okay. You just need to keep trying. If I was in your situation I'd call the insurance company once a day, EVERYDAY!!! Then I would call Dr. Duncan's office to make sure that they mail off your info. Too bad it isn't possible to get your paperwork and mail off a copy yourself everyday. Show them that you mean business. Don't let them get your hopes down. If you let them get you down, and they don't do anything to help you, you'll wish you would have been more assertive. Can Dr. Duncan's office call your insurance company? Something needs to be done. This is your life Dawn, don't take no for an answer! We are all behind you 100%. I will keep you in my prayers. God Bless, Tiffany.

Dawn, I'm praying with you about your approval. I would definitely keep calling. Let the folks hear your heart in your voice. I see it in your words! I love you, Dear Sister!!! "Mid the dark of the midnight, have I oft hid my face while the storm howls about me, and there's no hiding place. Mid the crash of the thunder, Precious Lord, hear my cry. Keep me safe til the storm passes by! Til the storm passes over, til the thunder rolls no more, til the clouds roll forever from the sky. Hold me fast. Let me stand in the hollow of Thy hand. Keep me safe til the storm passes by." I am praying that this storm passes NOW. You are greatly loved, and you are His precious child! He will protect you. Hugs, Becky

Dawn, I feel your pain. I was denied and now I filed an appeal and now they are saying it will take 30 days to review...wtf?!?!?! All they have to look at is two more letters....shoot they could do that on thier way back from the fax machine. I feel like I am getting the STALL too...it is so frustrating. I will keep my fingers crossed for both of us. Don't give up yet..I have been calling BCBS TWICE a day...maybe the squeaky wheel theory will work. I think today I am going to call and ask for a SUPERVISOR Why didn't Dr. Duncan FAX them your paperwork? Shree

I must say that I really love yah'll. and that this board is a gift from God. There has been very few times when I have gotten a bad response from the people here. Great news ------------------------------------------------- I was on the phone while posting this post and THE LORD CAME THROUGH and I know it was because you were praying. they got my paper work and it is being reviewed. Keep me in your prayers and I'll do the same. Oh, and Becky bunches of hugs and kisses Dawn

Girl God is Good!! Everything will work in your favor. Keep your head up I am praying for you Dawn!! Michelle

Dawn, you have every right to be down. But remember that all of our thoughts and prayers are with you. Hugs, Debra =^..^=

A friend of mine was having the same issue and we had the same insurance company. So what I did is mail everything through US Postal service with a return receipt requested. This way they could not say they didn't receive it. I had a notary sign that I had included the following test, medical records, all which I was told I would need in order to be approved. I sent a letter telling them I had the notary sign all records included and I knew how sometimes faxes get lost but I now have a record that they have everything they need in order to process the approval. Needless to say I got approved within 10 days after they received my letters and records.
