Come on NM's Dont be shy LOL

We didn't get anything but a few hours of wind, here. No effects from Rita - not even rain. (We could have USED some of that, but oh, well....). We watched movies on the DVD player and watched the trees whip around...

Eileen - has enough time passed for you to start harassing the insurance company?

Trish - I wish rings like YOURs could help us to lose weight.... Those are gorgeous!

Hope everybody is having a fantabulous day!

:]

Beanie, as I'm reading this, I'm waiting for customer service from my insurance company. I'm not only getting weary of this, I'm starting to get pissed !!

Whats going on with your insurance... you bustin their hump yet?

Trish, whats happening... you feeling better ???

Well I called and they have no information from my surgeon yet !! the office clerk said she was submitting this last week. So I called the surgeons office and I get a stinkin voice message that the doctors away until October 3rd. WTF !!!!!

I left a message for them to call me back.

You know it really bites when people can mess with your life like this.

I totally agree.. Geez!!!! I hope it all works out soon!!!

So how is everyone today???

Surgeons office called, they called the insurance company and found out I did not need pre-authorization, she even spoke to benefits. She said I have good insurance and she's never heard of this. I suggested she get a pre-authorization b/c I'm not going to get screwed over this. We all know how insurance companies can not tell you things. She agreed, so she's faxing the stuff over to the pre-determination fax # I got this morning and will keep me posted.

Bottom line to the waiting is not the insurance company, its the surgeons office. Nice eh.

Great. It's the old - point at the other guys - routine. In real estate, we see it all the time. The loan officer blames the processor, the processor blames the appraiser, the appraiser blames the realtor - it goes on and on. The end result is the same, the transaction still isn't closed and the borrower and the seller are WAITING.

I haven't called, yet. I suppose I should. It's always a 15 minute hold - so I should start now.

I guess I am just not ready for the aggravation of what is to come. I am in that mode where I don't dare allow myself to hope - because some YAHOO will tell me that a) they haven't finished the review. they need further information. c) the procedure is not "medically necessary". **Sigh**

I have to call today, though. It has been a week since the last call. It's time.

Everybody think good thoughts.

:]

Well, SHOCKINGLY ENOUGH, I have NOT been pre-approved... Of course, the contact guy who could tell me anything concrete is out until tomorrow and his VM indicates NOT to leave a message because it "may be deleted". (translated - he will dump everything in his voicemail when he arrives at work tomorrow...).

GRRRRRR.

Beanie make sure you tell them you are getting your Lawyer in on this. Then they will haul ass and get you your approval. They tried pulling that crap with my friend here and the minute she mentioned Lawyer!!! they said OHH we have your approval.

Do you have a Surgery date?? if so, you better get crackin lady. You don't want this to delay it.

BTW, the point your finger and blame some one only works when you fart and blame the dog (not that I've ever done that).

Well, apparently, the Band is "Investigational". It's not me, its the procedure. I guess the Lawyer may be required for this.

My teeth are grinding and steam is rising from my ears. Those folks at Blue Cross had better stand back... Hurricane Irene is a-commin...

And right behind hurricane Irene is hurricane Eileen with a jersey attitude !!!!
