Time for me to FIGHT!



Recommended Posts

I havent hear anything from my Dr. or my Ins. I have been calling twice a week for the last three weeks trying to get answers.. but just kept getting the run around.. This morning I had my Husband call and kick some butt!!! He stayed on that phone with them until he heard something worth while of being on the phone at all. UHC has all the paper work.. ohhhh but it was in the wrong Dept. sitting there to rot i guess. Finally this morning it went to the right Dept. and they are putting a RUSH on it. They better rush it im in a RUSH to save my life and health!!!! I guess I just wanted to talk!!

Good luck and good on you for being persistent! As an insurance broker I know that 99% of the delays are due to paperwork sitting around on someone's desk. Congratulations on getting it moving!!

You'll do it Trish- I don't think its out of line to call every other day.. I know that another member here had the same thing happen- her work just sat on the wrong desk for a month. When someone sweet finally walked it down the hall she was approved in 1 week!!! So you will be too- Good Luck friend!

Trish, good for you! If they deny it, appeal. I did. Whatever it takes, it will definitely be worth it. Hang in there, girl!!

Trish....how long did you wait until you called...they just sent mine in this week and said it could take up to 3 to 4 weeks but it was my understanding the insurance company has to give you a reply within 3 weeks (normally . . unless it is sitting on someone's desk...YIKES!)

grammi.....They have 30 days... my paper work was sent in on Jan 18th I started to call a week after to see if they even got the paper.. but i was persistant with the calls.. Last week they were telling me they had it.. but thats all... untill today i just got mad enough to wait on that phone until i knew everything.. you have to ask every question you can and talk to as many people until you get that one person that will care enough to talk to you. Good Luck with it.. let me know how things turn out for you!

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
