Not looking good
I really had my hopes up when a BCBS WW rep called me about a month ago. He needed for me to have one document that was not legible resubmitted. This made me think, they are working on it - so that's good.
2 weeks ago I contacted BCBS RI and referred to my case # and was told all that was missing was a pre-auth or letter of medical necessity. Even if it was after the fact it would be OK. I created a draft and Dr Zeegers filled in the rest. I submitted it and about a week or so later they tell me it has been denied. I was told it would only be paid for if the surgery was an emergency and not planned in advance. My wife just so happens to work for the man at RI Hospital who is the head guy for all things BCBS related. Her co-workers have told her he has the authority to make a call (pull a few strings) and I would get reimbursement. At this point it seems that is my only chance. So far we have been trying to do this thing by going thru all the proper channels and it has gotten us nowhere. How are you doing Vicki?

Hangin
Henry
I'm hangin in there  Going today for SI joint injections since I have alot of pain in the tailbone area. Probably referred pain from the L5 level but going to give the shots a try. Thanks for asking  My BCBS says that I have benefits and gave me a case # too. Haven't submitted a pre auth letter and will probably get the same bs you got! I hate insurance companies.
