It’s Not Covered

I have waited to spend time with you again.  I was waiting to see if I could get something done in a week without the disappointment of the medical field assaulting my intelligence.  I guess I was wrong.

I received a letter from my lovely sucky health insurance that they will not cover the cost of a procedure I had done during winter break.  The diagnosis did not support the lab.  REALLY!  The diagnosis was Interstitial Lung Disease (ILD).  Which means scarring in the lungs.  Now…..thinking about this….The insurance has already paid for my other labs with regards to this diagnosis.  Why stop now?  They decided that an echocardiogram is not the right exam for ILD.  I don’t know about you, but thinking that person may have depleted lung function may just warrant to make sure the heart is functioning okay?  By, the way, I am sure it isn’t by the way the lab tech kept going over a particular valve again, and again, and again.

So, now I get to waste tomorrow calling my health insurance to dispute the letter.  Then I get to chase down the ever elusive doctor insurance processor at UM to see if I can get it authorized to get the insurance to pay for it.  If not, well, God will just have to provide the money.  Because my coffers are empty!

God, I need you take care of this.  I am out of solutions and out of patience.  I am tired of having to do everyone’s job just to take care of myself.  Guide me to some people who can really help me tomorrow.
