Humlan, great to see you here again. Dennis comes back fairly quickly from a fall and at least he did not cut himself on the glass. His poor face can't take many more scars!

The medicine arrived and we have another appointment scheduled. I am still not sure, however, that I really want Dennis to take this test - radio-active materials???? But it is his choice, and I will support him no matter what.

I called the clinic and inquired about the visit to the movement disorder nueorologist this coming Tuesday. I was hoping to get a bit more clarification on how long we would be there. But they still said, 2 days to 10 days. Maybe even just the 2 hour intake visit.

So I asked for a substitute teacher for 3 days. If I need longer, no problem. If I need less - I will take advantage of the time off and sleep in and read.

Okay, here it is, Monday evening and I should be packing for a 2 to 10 day visit to the Mayo, right?

Wrong.

The insurance called and nixed the visit. When I called billing at Mayo, they said the need $5000 for us to walk in if we do not have insurance coverage.

It's a long, dull story, but I decided to still stay home for the next two days and get this straightened out. I rescheduled the visit for the next opening - late March.

We still will go and participate in the research project sometime next month - the one with the radio active drug.

JJ said it Mercury in retrograde - sure is something.

It's been a whirlwind month, and we haven't even accomplished anything. Whew.

Anno, I'm so sorry to hear this. I know how hopeful you and Dennis were, for information at the least. I'm guessing you're writing the insurance company as to WHY they denied this.

I will spend the day crafting a letter to everyone concerned. If the insurance company continues to deny, I will write to government reps, who are suppose to be concerned about health care.

This visit will happen!

I know your tenacity. I believe it will happen.

Enjoy your couple days off. Maybe you were intended to have a few days break at home aome with one another.

Praying you meet with success so you can get more answers.

SInce soem of this is about insurance companies, I'll share my insurance frustration.

My daughter went to diabetes education classes this past summer which I was told were covered by our insurance company. I've since gotten many bills, spent hours on the phone, learned over and over again that they are covered, but am STILL receiving bills which will soon be sent to a bill collector even though I don't owe them. The insurance company, for some reason, has not shared with the billing company that we are covered for this type of education. Life goes on...
