Living in Denial

Well my surgery was scheduled for today.  I was not there of course but it was scheduled.   I recieved my approval in writting on Sept 7  surgery was scheduled for today but got denied for coverage 2 days ago and today a denial of benefits showed up the day I was supposed to have surgery.   The fight goes on.  The insurance co has declared that things are not as they should be and is checking into it farther.

DAMN that sux. Keep ur head up. the approval will come......

Hate to say it BUT it seems the fight is much harder than the actual surgery. I am curious what the percentage of people who start the process never complete it, I am betting its over 50%.  Keep fighting, it will happen eventually

My surgery date was the Friday before my schools Spring Break in April.I get a call Thursday that the surgeons office had only gotten a "PRE -APPROVAL not an "APPROVAL".This process had been going on for nearly 1 1/2 years. Nothing is ever in stone until it happens.It too****il the following Tuesday and Surgery was the following Friday. The cost to me was was 5 days missed work instead of none. Today I'm very happy, but back then that nearly put me over the edge of not having the surgery. Don't give up!

I was supposed to hear yeah or nay by end of day.  ( I swear I did not try to rhyme that)  As is par for the course no word.  I sent a letter off to my company asking why yet another commitment was left unfullfilled.  Again no response.  I feel like I am becoming more and more a loner in this fight. 

Wish there was some way we guys could shake up your ins. co. Keep fighting, though. As has been said, this is the hardest part in many ways. Once you're approved and post-op, this mess will make a great story. Until then, hang on and good luck.
