[QUOTE]Originally posted by Jason Abbadon: [QB] Fuuuuuck. Blue Cross is denying any coverage for Hyperbaric Oxygen Treatment. Goes like this so far: [b]Two motherfucking[/b] months ago: My leg continues to get worse- I notice by the large amount of blood oozing out of it while I'm working. I go to my [URL=http://www.intsocdermatol.org/Kerdel.html]Doctor [/URL] and tell him to take me off Chemotherapy and steorids- as they make me sick and do [i]nothing[/i] for me. Doc decides that the [i]only[/i] thing he can come up with to [i]maybe[/i] work is Hyperbaric Oxygen Treatment- he'll have to write a letter to Bluecross explaining this to get apporval. -Chemo is dropped and steroids cut back on (you have to [i]gradually[/i] stop those- the lack of which in yor system makes you feel like [i]total[/i] ass for a week or so each time the dosage is lowered). [b]One month ago:[/b] After a months of both myself and my BC rep calling the doctor's office, no letter is written requesting the new treatment. -no calls are returned to me or B.C. either by doc's nurse. I have my scheduled appointment and raise hell. -My wound is worse (larger). Doc says he'll take care of it- there's some woman they have [i]just[/i] to write the official letters. -[i]Finally[/i] the letter is submitted to B.C. -B.C. says (though not to [i]me[/i]) the letter is vague (only a paragraph long) and they need more information on my case to authorize treatment (in my case, [i]everything[/i] is "experimetal" due to the disease's rarity). The month passes with more calls to the Doctor's office from myself and my BC rep to no avail. [b]One week ago:[/b] -Scheduled appointment- My leg wound is several centimeters worse (now reaching my outer calf). I raise hell- I get B.C. on my cell-phone and [i]hand[/i] the phone to my Doctor. [i]He[/i] gets people talking to each other but the woman (only one!) from B.C. that has been calling for information is on vacation for the day. Monday- Doc's office and B.C. [i]finally[/i] talk and the result is.... I'm denied coverage. Now, [b]I[/b] have to write a letter stating [i]why[/i] my leg should not just be allowed to rot off [i]and[/i] my Doctor has to write (himself) a letter explaining [i]why[/i] healing my leg is [i]important[/i] to my overall health. I plan on waiting in the doctor's office tomorrow morning and getting very....[i]loud[/i]...if I have to untill this is accomplished. [i]This[/i] is why desperate people take hostages- [i]this[/i] level of frustration. I really [i]really[/i] dont know what the [i]fuck[/i] I'm going to do if this appeal does not work. [/QB][/QUOTE]
