External Reviews........

.......are nerve-racking! My insurance had an appeal process where they waited the full 30 days to deny me, then another 2 weeks to deny the 2nd appeal. Now its with the external review. June 30th will be exactly one year that I started this journey. Starting to loose my cool!
