They acted like my calling wasn't necessary. When I finally got this one lady she told me I was approved (she was very polite and nice) and I asked her about a letter and she said they should be receiving it any day now...that was last Monday. I guess I will call again in the morning and hound for a letter or something. Rae Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted September 28, 1999 Report Share Posted September 28, 1999 Kim, Hi, It's Amber. I know you are going crazy with your insurance situation. Hang in there! I haven't heard from my insurance yet either so I am waiting too...You're not alone! I am on pins and needles! I am crossing my fingers, toes and knees for both of us. Let me know as soon as you hear some good news or a final answer from either your primary or your secondary insurance. I am praying that it will all come thru for you w/o too many further headaches. I'll call you as soon as I hear something about my insurance too...I am still hoping that we can have surgery around the same time so that we can 'compare notes'. Try not to go too crazy and remember to use all the frustration that you're feeling to fuel yourself into getting this stuff pushed through! Good luck! Call me if I can help with something....

Guest guest Posted September 28, 1999 Report Share Posted September 28, 1999 Child Calm down!!! They are just messing with your head.The people at UHC are very nasty but, I lucked up and talked to a new girl and she told me everything that I needed to know. Yes I went through the same routine with them and Debbie. Debbie is swamped with work and I offered to come down on my days off to help her out but ,.................. Anyway. Tomorrow morning get on the phone and call medical management and ask about the status of your predetermination. They told me that I did not need to call them because that was the Dr's responsibility. Just take matters into your own hands and call anyway. If the person is ugly towards you wait until lunch time she will be covered by someone else and then get your info. If you are waiting for a letter of approval...........DON'T. I was informed that they do not send out letters. These people act like it's their money. Let them know that you pay your premiums and that you do not appreciate being treated like a gutter rat. It may sound funny but I am serious. They have the right to inform you of whatever they want to but, they are not supposed to act ugly.

Guest guest Posted September 29, 1999 Report Share Posted September 29, 1999 Thank you but, the praise goes to God. He gives me the words of encouragement to pass on to others. You know about 6 years ago I worked for 2 physicians and some of their patients came into the office constantly. The doc would get to the point of just basically writing prescriptions and pushing them out the door. I would always attempted to spend a few extra minutes with those people because I knew that what they really needed was love and attention. It never hurts any of us to listen and help out in any way possible. When we do this we are doing God's work. That's my theory. I feel like I have found a home hear because I understand the pain of the people that I talk to . Our world is very different and I am sure that you know that already. We have gone through sooooooooooooo much. LISTEN I did not mean to go into a song and dance routine. Sometimes I tend to ramble on an on. Anyway , I hope that we will all be able to show support now and after we reach our goals.
