Insurance says "yes" and after surgery "no"

Please, I usually do not rant and rave but I am besides myself with worry. The surgeons office had called and told me I was approved for a TT and I had it done March 26th. Now I get a letter from my insurance carrier (GHI) which says they do NOT pay for plastice surgery. I am besides myself with worry over this, and hope at least the hospitalization is covered but how can it be if the surgery is being denied. HELP!!

Be well.

Thank you all for your good wishes-I am glad this had a happy ending. Now, if I can only keep my son clean and away from his disease of addiction with drugs. I ask nothing for myself, just his recovery. It is the most insidious disease around. I feel so helpless. He has had the best in rehab in Pa. and Minnesota where I liquidated every nickel I had from IRA's and a retirement fund. He is home now and struggling. The worry is constant. It does not stop. Be well all.

Fran im glad that your insurance ended up paying.

As for the drugs well I Have had more than i care to deal with when it comes to that. Everyone in my husbands family is Addicted to something or another.

My BIL was very heavliy into drugs, He's around 30ish, We disowned him basically , my husband said it was easier to do that than to hear some day he was dead.

He finally got better when my FIL decided to cut him off. he was actually hurting him more than anything by helping him. Not that your doing that.

My Brother in law new he could always have dad to go to and when that was no longer there he finally said " CRAP " I have to get better or NO One will help me.

My BIL is now a father and married and doing pretty well. I think he's been sober for 3 yrs now .

Anyway . Hang in there, it can be done. Just be careful and protect yourself as well !

Love

Mindy
