approved after denial...yeah

Hi everyone,

Just wanted you all to know as I got very good news today. Prudential

has agreed to pay in network benefits for my surgery.I attended my

appeal on June 6 and today they told me they are giving a one time

approval( I guess that's so they dont have to pay for everyone right

off the bat)I only wish I had patience to wait for my approval b/c I

self payed on 5/24. But I believe at least I should get most of it

back. I also wanted to write this as I know people get discouraged

when they are denied as I know I did(I believed they wouldn't pay so

that is why I self payed). But just keep fighting for what you know

is the best option for you. If anyone needs any ideas on fighting an

appeal I would be glad to help.

Bye for now I think I'll call the hosp. and try to work on my refund.

Now if I could just get rid of this stomach pain, everything would be

great.
