In Denial

Oct 13, 2009

A month ago I posted that I was concerned that my file was submitted too soon with incomplete information.  My fears were justified, and my claim was denied.  My surgeon's office did an initial appeal, which was also denied.  I have since written a letter to my insurance company and some other unrelated documents were submitted in the hopes that they will change their minds.

My second appeal was entered into the system on 1 October, and they have 30 days to make a decision.

If they deny me this time, for no good reason other than their initial request was tainted by an incompetent office worker, I am afraid I will lose my spirit that I've worked so hard to build up.

Since my denial, I've stepped away from nearly everything that I was focusing on.  All my books and blogs and vitamins are just sitting in a corner because I can't face them.  I've invested so much, financially and emotionally, that I think I might break under the disappointment.

So here, I sit, waiting for the outcome of the final appeal.  Until I hear from them, I'm just in denial.
