My Insurance Nightmare - Why I've Been Doing This For 9 Months.

Posted 10-03-2008 at 02:37 PM by BikiniBeachy
Here's a shoirt recap on why I've been on this site so long, yet still am not banded.

This is actually the third insurance go-around I've attempted since March. I started with Kaiser and they denied me but, it was pointless to appeal because I had an exclusion in my policy since my mother was buying an individual plan. It was horrifying, because I had been lied to and told they did have it covered while we were shopping around for insurance. That's when I learned to document everything,...

(Not Approved Yet) but DOLLY (insurance lady) comes through in a big way...

I've read a ton about Dolly and know she has some die hard fans and some, not so much. Everyone had been admittedly a little tweaked about her attitude while they waited for approval but seem to have a softer heart for her when they hear those magic words.

So, I called last night and left a message and e-mailed, and she actually did call me back, right in the morning! How cool is that?!

The best part was, today she was very sweet! I finally saw some emotion from her!...

Call From Surgeon's Office

Posted 09-26-2008 at 11:53 AM by BikiniBeachy
Finally, I was able to speak with Dolly. I started calling her three days ago, emailing, calling, calling and calling. One busy lady. But I hear she fights hard for approval, whatever that means, just wanna be approved!

She called yesterday and I 'blew' it big time by missing her call (she called at 8:15 AM when I was still asleep) so today I learned from my 'mistake' and slept with my phone next to my head and set a special ringtone for her number. I heard it at 8:20 AM and my eyes...

On the phone w/ insurance as I type..

Posted 09-19-2008 at 05:24 PM by BikiniBeachy
I couldn't resist! I know the paperwork is SUPPOSED to be submitted by today, but I just have this sneaking suspision that the surgeon's office is taking their sweet time.


It even says on his website that if you call your insurance to ask if they have received any paperwork, they WILL SAY NO, THEY HAVE NOT RECEIVED IT. Even if they have! (He explains this happens because it goes through many departments before it gets entered into the computers that it has been received, even...

Any day now...is this real?

Posted 09-18-2008 at 06:11 PM by BikiniBeachy
Thought I'd update...I've been to the pulmonary Dr and my consult. Waiting Waiting Waiting. I've also been trying to 'chill out' on chatting on LBT so much, it was hurting my heart to FEEL like a bandster, but to not really BE a bandster. So now I am back a little, and all my paperwork has been submitted to the insurance (they told me) !

Soooo ... I am just waiting for a call from the surgeon. Any day now, I'll hear a yes or no. I am NOT excited, unfortunately, because I have been...
