Insurance snafu

 So...because I have worked with employee benefits for a very long time, and because I'm just impatient (probably more the latter than the former), I decided to call my insurance company today and ask whether or not they had made a determination.  Not yet, was the answer.

However, (and this is the good part), the doctor had marked it as urgent, so they should have gotten a response within 24 hours of submitting the request....so it's getting pushed to the front of the line, so should have an answer today, tomorrow at the latest.

Yay!

Well I'm keeping everying from fingers to toes and all in between crossed and hoping for the best... 

Good luck!! 

I know how you feel, I'm waiting for an answer as well. I called the insurance company today and I was told they have five days to make a decision and tomorrow makes the fifth day. Its still pending

 Keeping my fingers and toes crossed for you, for sure!  

I work in employee benefits as well... it can be both a blessing and a curse when it comes to dealing with your own issues! I generally find my experience helpful, though.

 Me too, for sure!  After 16 years managing plans, I usually know the answer before the insurance folks do, and I usually know who to bully to get me way.  

Good luck, fingers crossed!
