We have the referrals, but the insurance keeps talking about being out of network.

I called the insurance company today, and this guy was saying no to everything, but oh, so politely. Finally he asked where we lived. It seems his company may have signed him up for some HMO in another state.

Perhaps everything has been a typo error after all.

We received a letter from D's insurance company yesterday. It seems they are willing to support the first visit of the movement specialist at Mayo.

The letter worked.

I was thinking about the Law of Attraction. I am so not a winter person. Now that spring is happening, I am beginning to feel hopeful, once again. And guess what - good news is beginning to come my way.

Coincidence? Luck? Hard Work? Timing?

All of the above, most likely Anno.

I agree chats. All of the above, and boomer prayers!

Celebrating your good news with you.

I also feel lighter and more hopeful in the spring.

Yes and Boomer prayers.

We also heard today, that his insurance woes have finally been straightened out (remember they were denying all of his claims, saying he was only covered by an HMO a state away?). So, hopefully those bills will be paid and I can stop spending my evenings talking to folks in India.

Thanks, all. This has been a big relief.

I don't mean this as an "I am feeling sorry for myself" type of moment, but don't you all think this stinks? How hard we have to fight for what is rightfully ours?

I only wish I knew all of the right answers.

I remember going through an insurance nightmare which took all of my wits to resolve. Maybe it was just me, but every company representative I spoke to kept getting dumber and dumber. FINALLY after the 3rd major appeal, I was allowed to participate in a telephone conference where company doctors and lawyers would hear my appeal and I was given 20 minutes to state my case.

I won by sheer stick-to-itiveness I think. They probably have a datboard in their conference room with my picture on it.

Congrats on your victory. I'm always excited when we boomer women win our battles over life's thorns.
