Title: Don't you just love health insurance ??
Post by atwitsend on Sep 20^th, 2003, 8:46pm

Well - the Sept 22nd date for surgery has been cancelled again!!

Insurance company is refusing to pay because it is considered expirimental - well no shit!!

COst of the operation is approx $30,000.00 - $40,000.00 us dollars. Who has money like that??

The families of sufferers don't, am I right?? We have all missed work because of these CH's right?? No one knows how the families suffer!!!!! Sick to my stomach over this.

We will have to appeal now - who knows how long this will take now?? Only all the family that I have on this website knows what it's like living in chronic pain.

We are so disgusted with everything. Total downer!!

Gotta go - don;t feel like chatting right now. Kev's having another attack right now - gotta go help

This is his 14th in 32 hours! Gotta love that huh??

PF wishes to all ---- CHeryl

Aw Cheryl, I'm so sorry. I wish there was something I could do to help. Insurance Co.'s will only listen when there is enough of us bitchin and complaining.

Kev is in my thoughts with each hit we have.

No, I don't.
I've been told that all medical proceedures are considered practice and expierimental.
I remember signing something to that effect when they sliced me open for my hernia operation.
Good luck Cheryl, it'll work out.
