Default Boooooo

found out today my surgery can't even be sent to insurance as its not included in the companies medical plan. not sure what i'm gonna do, might look for another job but then the wait is going to be longer and longer

I know you must be very disappointed, because you changed jobs for this reason to begin with. argh, you need to believe these stumbling blocks are being put in front of you for a reason.

So they say... have it sent anyway because it seems that a LOT of plans will say that it's excluded, until the paperwork is sent, and then they want all the documentation before making a final determination. It's worth a try anyway... make them send it!!

What have you got to lose if you do? Can't hurt, worse they can say is no.

*crosses her fingers that they say yes*
