Every month I swear on my long lost Girl Scout badge that I won’t post while I have PMS, and I’ve lived up to my little green badge so far. Sort of. But damnit, it’s not possible when the fibroid tumors throw a month long party in my uterus!
I want this fibroid situation to be resolved and the insane cycle of PMS to go with it. I’ve been battling with my insurance company since July. I called them this morning, for what has to be the hundredth time, insisting they pay for part of this never-ending battle. They seem callously indifferent to the fact that the kinky twins have grown from small children to difficult adolescents while I’ve been waiting for relief. Does anyone ever beat the damn insurance company?
I want a normal reproductive system. I want an honorable insurance company. I want to run my 14 miles. I want my daughter and husband not to be ill today. And I want a pony – at this point, it only seems fair.
Hope life gets better soon.
I want a pony too! !@#@$$%*!! insurance companies.
Insurance companies suck. Then they screw all of us. I am not a big fan of them either.
no pony for you! (insurance won’t pay for one of those either!)
Insurance companies do SUCK! All of them!
If your doctor declares that a procedure is medically necessary doesn’t the insurance company have to respond with something besides, “no”. I think you need to send them a letter with the words, “impending medical emergency” and “avoid a hysterectomy” and “on the advice of my lawyer” in them.
It is frightening to think about how much control insurance companies have over our health issues. Frightening.
….and lipo suction. I want lipo suction too!!
I hope you get it resolved. Noone should have to scrap in order to get/stay healthy.
i’ve put an email into my friends who had/have their own set of kinky twins. both had them taken care of… when i get the skinny on how, i’ll let you know. meanwhile, get a pony!
You don’t ask for much…..
You need to make friends with your State Dept of Insurance. Write a letter stating the facts, containing a history of your interactions with the insurance company (you have kept a history, haven’t you?), and send everything return receipt requested. CC: your insurance company. Then sit back and see if you get any relief.
Ponies all around! I want one too!
I agree with 21CM and Julie – take out the baseball bat. Granted, you shouldn’t HAVE to take such measures to get the benefit you pay for but unfortunately that’s the nature of a $$ driven healthcare system. Have you asked your doc to advocate for you to the company? This kind of stuff is just maddening!!
“F.B.I.C.”
That sounds like an official title.
Oh wait, that’s F.D.I.C.
Sorry
sorry this is such a big mess. i like jusie’s comment.
i need your addresss so i know where to ship the pony 🙂
insurance companies only pay for what they are contractually obligated to pay for. it sucks, becuase these contracts that we have with them (policies) have tons of exclusions and fancy language explaining what they dont pay for. it is life.
good luck.
Ditto Lara who dittoed two others.
Have the pony go poop on the insurance company’s door mat; or there is always the Godfather trick with horse parts you could try…
We want all those things for you as well Susan.
I hope you beat the insurance company Susan. No wonder running is difficult for you.
I won’t tell you that if you lived in Australia, your medical procedures would be paid for by Medicare.
You have way more chance of getting a pony. Honourable insurance company! Ha ha, that’s the funniest thing I’ve heard all day. Those guys have mathematical models predicting how sick people can get so that they can still make money. THEY DO NOT GIVE A SHIT ABOUT YOU, they only care for their shareholders.
Susan, I feel your pain…the pain of dealing with insurance companies. I had more pain while on short-term disability after a hyster (and highly recommend from personal experience) – earning NO wages and waiting to get PAID. UGH!
