Topic: I'm Approved
I just want to thank everyone for your prayers, support, and words of encouragement.
I'm APPROVED!!! I submitted a Formal letter of appeal with CC to all my physicians. I got a letter Friday, saying that they would make a determination within the next 20 working days. Today I got a call saying it has been approved!
Soooooooo to everyone else who is going thru this same process...don't give up!!
Thanks again, and please continue the prayers as the journey continues...
