Default update



just a little update. . . i called the dr office and asked if there was anything i could do to help the process and they said they have sent my info to insurance and they don't see that there would be any problem with me getting aproved. there's nothing i can do but wait. i thought i'd give it a shot to see if i could make any phone calls or anything. but, nope. she said the only thing that may cause a problem is that my ekg showed a change and my PCP has to say if i'm able to have surgery or if i need more testing. hmmm, that was not expected.

oh well, i'm still praying and crossing everything that i can to hear soon!

amy

Cool Insurance

Even you don't get approved this time appeal and do it all over again!! Whatever you do DON'T GIVE UP!! That's what most insurance companies what people to do. I went through 3 appeals before I got approved.

"People will argue with you that getting what you want in life isn’t something you can learn, if you’re destined to be one of the worlds winners as opposed to one of its perpetual whiners, its because you have been born with the right talents and temperament and have a big dose of self-esteem, ambition, and good judgment."
