Re: 7days... or not

[Guest guest]

Hi ,

That's the last thing you need right now. I really really know how you must be feeling right now. Just a few weeks ago I learned that waiting lists had grown and I might be looking at a much longer waiting term then expected (I'll get certainty on that one coming Thursday). That one had me down pretty bad, so I can imagine how you must feel having a date set and just being a week away from that date, to then learn that plans might have to be altered...

Remember 's insurance trouble, they started about pretty much the same time before her -ectomy as yours now and everything turned out OK for her too! I bet things will turn out OK for you as well!!! Next week around this time you'll have the surgery over and done with, I honestly believe so!!!

Hang in there, girl!

I'll be thinking of you and keeping my fingers strongly crossed that you'll soon hear that you'll have your -ectomy next week.

Love,

Isabella

7days... or not

OK, so everything has been going really well. I've got everyone lined up to help with the kids, travel arrangements, extra money, food stored up and I've even stocked up on some Ensure. All ready to leave Tuesday morning, meet with Dr. Luketich on Thursday, first on the schedule Friday morning.Then comes the screeching halt!!!I called my pharmacy on Wed. to refill prescriptions and they tell me there's some kind of problem with my insurance and it's not covering. I check the next day with a phone call to BC/BS and they tell me my coverage ENDED oct. 31st. I get with my boss who calls his wife (she handles our HR stuff - it's a small company) and tells me she's taking care of it. Thursday, I get an email 'insurance is re-instated as of noon today'. Go to the pharmacy thursday after work - still not paying. Get a letter from the insurance company that coverage has been terminated as of

10/31/07. Call boss at home - She's calling BC/BS tomorrow.Come in today, call same boss 2x - no response. Call wife, "oh, Bill is supposed to call them and call you back" finally get a call about 11:15 from OTHER boss, calling insurance company - STILL don't know what's up. I'm CRYING at this point because my whole life and everyone in my family and everyone around me has been arranged to make this work and if we only get insurance re-instated as of today, it's been lapsed for more than 63 days and they'll hit me with a pre-existing condition clause!! I'm sorry this is so rambling but my head is all spun up and I can't do anything but wait and I hate it. Thankfully my eating and my weight are still OK so if need be, I'll survive another year but you know when you've been so worked up about something and it has consumed every thought and deed for the last month while you prepare and then it doesn't

happen??I just want to crawl under a rock.I'm trying to be optimistic and keep thinking that 2nd boss will call and tell me all is well be every minute that goes by makes me believe it less and less.Thanks to you all for listening. I'm still so hoping that in another couple of weeks I'll be on that list of people that can post about how much better everything is for me.Keep your fingers crossed, pray, whatever it is that you believe in for me.Love to you all.- in NC7 days??

Be a better friend, newshound, and know-it-all with Mobile. Try it now.

Also another member of this group (who will remain nameless unless

they pop up with a post of there own) in the USA had problems with

there insurance company right up to the day before they went into

Michele, this is terrible news. Have you heard from them yet? Who

did you get the email from stating that the insurance was reinstated?

I hope it was from the insurance company. That might be worth

holding on it.

Keep us up to date and I'll keep you in my prayers.

Hugs,

,

First off, take a deep breath and try to relax.

You sound as worked up as I was back in March right before my surgery.

I had a similar situation about two weeks before my 'ectomy when

everything was supposed to be all set and then all of a sudden they

said they weren't covering any of it. I totally freaked out. Turned

out it was an internal mistake within the insurance company, and they

had forwarded my information to the wrong regional medical director

for final approval of the out of network surgery, and he denied it.

Well, once they got it to the right person, it was all set and

everything was covered 100% and things went forward as planned. I know

exactly how you feel at the moment.

It will all work out. I would find out from your boss EXACTLY what

happened, and get something in writing from your boss and from the

insurance company that you are covered and that it was an error or

whatever the situation was. Then you will just have to make sure that

they will still cover your surgery. If it was an error that the

coverage was lapsed, they shouldn't use pre-existing condition clause

on you because it was an error. Has your boss offered any explanation

as to what caused the lapse in coverage???

It will all work out. Don't worry - the last thing you need right now

is this kind of stress. I've been there and I'm sure there is a

logical explanation.

Keep us posted.

Love,

in NY

Hi ,

You poor thing - just when you are ready to face the op. this comes along. I had a similar thing happen to me in 2006 the day before i was having a brain tumour (benign) removed. So i know exactly how you feel. I'm sure it is just a hiccup in the process, and that things will be OK. I keep thinking of you and others going through what i had done just 5 months ago. If I'm anything to go by you'll be raring to go in about three months time. Believe it or not, you'll look back on these things and laugh at them some time in the future.

Keep your chin up and stay positive.

Love,

Deb from Melbourne, Australia.
