So after getting denied by Aetna for a "net gain" during my husband heart attack and triple heart bypass, I appealed....and was denied again.

I don't even know where to pick up and start now.

I sent in all of his discharge paperwork so they knew I wasn't just making excuses. And I'm not. I know I messed up. I know I gained. I know how to now fix this. But I'm lost on moving on to my second appeal.

I'm depressed, severely.

I'm miserable.

My husband is ready to kill me I think. I'm crying all the time and I just wanted this for myself so bad.

I know I have to get over my "pity party" and start fighting but honestly I feel lost, alone and just really down. Almost like I don't have fight left in me.

Help.

Awesome!!

Hoping the same for you!

Keep me posted!

Kelley has been fantastic and Walter is handling my case. He wrote a killer appeal letter. Hoping this does the trick! Fingers crossed!

Any news?

Hiiiii, Aetna have 15-30 days to look over the appeal.

So I'm stillllll waitinggggg!

This has to be the longest wait.

Other problem is this, one coworker went on maternity, then another coworker had a seizure and diagnosed with a brain tumor and had that taken out.

So I can't even have it done until probably January.

Soooo yeah. That's all the news I got so far!

Will keep You's posted!

Best of luck KStuz.
