Insurance Troubles Again

I've never been much of a praying woman, myself, but I could sure use some help about now. My insurance is trying to balk on my application again over this stupid 5-phone calls to the insurance company people in 10 weeks-thing and I'm worried about my surgery date (July 12th) getting cancelled.

I've got everything crossed. Also my insurance coordinator (with whom I am now on a first name basis) and my surgeon are writing letters to the insurance requesting they make an exception in my case, so I guess that counts as an appeal, though the word 'denial' was tactfully not used in the voicemail I was left.

I am super bummed about the thought of getting cancelled, and super anxious waiting for official word. :(

So any thoughts or prayers or good energies or mystical psychedelic frisbees or whatever you all could say/think/metaphysically send my way would be very much appreciated.

Thanks and reciprocity,

Bryn

I am so sorry. I will send a prayer for you. I have been waiting for what feels like forever for approval myself. They are still thinking about it. I know it is frustrating. It does appear that your surgeon's office is trying to help you though. That is really a plus. They have gone through this with several patients and insurance companies. I wish you the best of luck- hang in there!

Goodness!! I will send energy your way. I have NO idea why insurance wants to make it sooooo hard for people to be healthy.
