The Last Supper

Aug 16, 2009

Good evening friends.....what a whirlwind experience the last 10 days have been for me.  I found out on the 6th, that I was being laid off on the 7th and that I would only have my insurance through the end of the month.  Talk about panic when my doctor was not returning from vacation until the 10th and still had to review my file before it could be sent to my insurance company for approval.  So, all paperwork got submitted on Monday the 10th and then I got a call from my doctors office on the 13th saying that the insurance company was requesting a letter from my PCP.  I quickly told her that I did that already and she is the one that faxed me a copy of the letter my PCP had sent them in April.  Luckily, she located it, faxed it and called me back within a few hours to say I was approved.  So there it is, I will be joining you guys on the losers bench on 8-31.  Obviously, I am going to have to take advantage of Cobra because I will probably not be released at least until 9-1.  My concern is that something happens and they try to say my coverage was not continuous.  IDK....has anyone else had to deal with anything like this and can lend some advice.  I would greatly appreciate it.  I hope each of you are finding success on your journeys and look forward to hearing from you soon.  I start my liquid diet tomorrow (had my "Last Supper" tonight....LOL.....I was a bad girl!!!!).  Anyway, wish me luck with the liquids and take care.
