Medical Update.

I hate insurance companies. Are there any of you out there that know how to deal with them? seriously, I’ll PAY you.

now, let’s see, we just found out that even though Summit’s doctor is in-network, the surgery facility is out-of-network. What the blankidy blank?? I’m going to try to get an exception, do other stuff I don’t know really how to do, and basically either decide to pay the extra thousands (I don’t have) or cancel the surgery and go to St. Louis or somewhere else approved by my insurance company. geez louise. Perhaps his surgery won’t be happening next month after all.

on another note: I just got back from changing a dirty diaper, I ignored Summit’s cries to poo on the toilet, (I didn’t KNOW he had to poop, I just though he was being WHINY) and apparently I didn’t get all the foil off the baked sweet potato he ate yesterday. Hmmmm. I hope that isn’t poisonous. Either that was the case or he ate a little glitter. I don’t know where he’d get the glitter though so I’ll go with the first option.

    Hey I spoke to my mother who use to be a HMO nurse caseworker. And she said to talk to your doctor and see if there is another faciltiy where he/she could do the surgery(sp-I cant spell today)that would be covered under your insurance. Or when talking to them to get preapproved reiterate the specialty of the ped doc and the need of him and that he only does it at this one location. Keep on and on with this. Once they agree (which I am praying for) make sure they send you something in writing or they send the hospital where it will happen something in writing approving it and then get a copy of that. Did that help at all. I hope so.
