External Reviews........

.......are nerve-racking! My insurance had an appeal process where they waited the full 30 days to deny me, then another 2 weeks to deny the 2nd appeal. Now its with the external review. June 30th will be exactly one year that I started this journey. Starting to loose my cool!

Stay strong. just be ready for the approval or denial - and what you will do from there.

God bless and good luck.

Thank You! I have a surgeon who is about 2hrs away that offers a resonable self-pay option. I have an appointment next week. Just so Im ready if I'm denied.

Insurance companies can be very exasperating to say the least.

aldmb2, just curious, on what grounds did they turn you down? (I am still in a holding pattern waiting on my approval...or not)
