Idiot people!

Talk about idiots! I called Marilyn today wanting to know when I would get my denial letter. When I first introduced myself she said no decision back! Huh? Last week you said I was denied! Oh now she remembered, no I'm not denied but I'm not approved! She sent a letter to Dr. Harris' office today, they forgot to include something on my ap!!! When I talked to her last week she had also said the doc that had reviewed my case denied me as I had lost 160 #'s on my own. At that time I was so upset I wasn't thinking right anyway so I didn't question that one. I finally woke up & realized what they were talking about! My highest weight was over 30 yrs ago when I was a freshman in high school. They looked at that weight & today's weight! Are these idiots or what? Now how many more have been denied because our records aren't read right??? Makes me wonder. Ok here is the plan, I'm Iowa medicaid by the way. I called KMart tonight asking for a print out of all my meds & what the "real" cost is. In my appeal I plan to use that. I believe Celebrex is right at or more than $200 per month! I want to show them what they are shelling out in meds for me every month. I know the diabetic test strips are $65 per month. I'm on 3 different (type II) meds, bp, cholestrol, celebrex, premarin & zoloft. I am going to present family history as well like my grandpa age 54 & uncle age 39 & another uncle age 45 died of heart attacks, both grandmas diabetic complications 2 aunts breast cancer. I just read where obese women are a higher risk for breast cancer. If any one can think of anything else than what I've said please pass it on. Of course the number 1 on the list is pointing out that the 160 lbs was lost 30 plus years ago. Are these people for real? OH ya she said I wouldn't get a "denial" letter, since I'm not denied, that doc Harris' office needs to re-submit. I'm leaving no roc****urned this time. Thanks for letting me blow off some steam!!

Carolyn, i am not sure if Marilyn told you this or not but your dr. has 10 days to resubmit your paper work. so i would have them do that as soon as possible. and have your drs. office send that information for you along with your paper work that they have. good luck and happy thanksgiving. lynda
