I should know better -- but my hopes are UP UP UP!!!

May 25, 2010

First, I recieved my letter from "the team" last week.  The only requirements on it were confirm insurance, attend another support group and have TSH checked prior to surgery.  Then, I had my SMA (shared medical appt.) today.and spoke with the PA handling my case.  I told him that I would be attending support group tomorrow.  He said that I should make sure to touch base with him at group so he remembers to submit my paperwork for insurance pre-auth.  I am SO excited,  Now, I know -- I HAVE been down this road before and what was supposed to be easy turned into a mess.  I know, based on that, I shouldn't get my hopes up.  But I can't help it!!!!  Dean Health has been exceptional, so super helpful, AMAZING!  I don't want to be mean to anyone but if I had known last year what I know now -- i would have chosed Dean instead of...... well..... the other Madison option. 
So, I am doing "the math" in my head.  If my paperwork is submitted to UHC by June 1 and they take 4 weeks to respond I will be looking at a possible surg. date MAYBE the beginning of August..... I can hope right.? 
Of course, if UHC behaves the way they have over the past year --- they won't respond until the end of July, with a denial and I won't have all the crap worked out until Thanksgiving! LOL   (I wish I were kidding) Seriously, UHC is a crapbag, rip-off, that tries to deny EVERYTHING so that they can make a quick buck!
ANYWAY, I digress ---- my fingers ARE CROSSED!
