APPEAL!! APPEAL!!! Give them hell!   They will see this your way!

Wendy everyone is right normally you can correct this situation I know it is a real pain. I was denied twice for silly things such as my phych was older than 15 months ok no problem had another one . Second denial was Lee and I had not met with surgeon to discuss surgery complications etc..The doctors office had to explain to bcbs that I would meet with the surgeon after I had been approved. I wrote an appeal letter and hand delivered it and got approved in two weeks. I will be glad to send you a copy and paste of my appeal letter if you think it would help you. Everyone told me insurance plays a money game well I am not sure about that but they sure seem to make it really tough. Dont take it personally. It is your doctors job to get this for you but sometimes like I had to take it into my own hands and had to stay on top of the insurance and the doctors. I was even told by my surgeons office they never had such a hard time as they did getting my insurance to approve. Hang in there you can do this.                                                            Annie

So sorry Wendy.  Many insurances automatically deny on the first try.  Don't give up, it will happen when the time is right.  Have you found out why yet?  Please let us know what you learn if that's appropriate. Take care. Ellen

Don't give up.......Insurance companies like to play games with our lives. Don't let them discourage you. Try Try again be a squeaky wheel and get the greese, beat them at this game. I cheering for you and it sounds like everyone here is also. MTT

Thank you to everyone - Your all AWESOME support and friends! Sorry I wasn't more specific when I made the post just too tired (from the new job) and pissed at the Dr's office! I had told my Dr when I had my pre-op that if I get denied "I plan to appeal!" That goes without a question! I'm a very determined person, this set back will only make me come out fighting harder! I haven't gotten an answer yet from anyone about "why" I was denied. I'll be sure to let you all know when I find out! Thanks again for all your support! I miss being on the board...........stupid idea of getting a job! LOL                ..
