The insurance company sent me swimming in DeNile

Denied, but not up the creek.

Today I got word that I've been denied for the surgery, but I will, of course, begin an immediate appeal campaign.  I know that dozens before me have been denied and later followed through with the appeal process to eventually be approved.

Save my goddamn seat on the losers' bench; I'm still coming as soon as I'm done swimming up the longest river: DeNile.

I will be happy to save a seat for you.  Keep fighting, they may have sent you down DeNile, but you are willing and able to fight for your health!!  Keep up the good work you have done and you will be joining us in no time!!

Oh, that bites!  I'm sorry!

I hope your appeal is swiftly reviewed and approved.  Be sure to keep us updated.  I don't have a doubt that you'll get your butt on the bench eventually. Sucks that it's later than sooner, but you'll get here.

I wish you all the best in your appeal!  I'm going through the appeals process myself with BCBS/MN currently, but I have faith that it will be overturned! If not, the trustees with DH union will get to hear me on my soapbox (it's a self managed fund).  That and the 300 pages of studies I've printed off thus far... I think of it as the filibuster of the insurance world.. If I talk long enough, they'll approve me just to shut me up! LOL!  
Every opinion we share, every favor we perform, every moment we intently listen to someone talk about themselves is our opportunity to pass along something positive to a person who needs us.
