Not "Caring" so Much...Amandahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14775794907218052899noreply@blogger.comBlogger5125tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31322943.post-27254074485468718192013-05-30T15:40:14.157-05:002013-05-30T15:40:14.157-05:00Very much so. I'd managed to get off the ster...Very much so. I'd managed to get off the steroid eye drops and was only needing to take my Zyrtec and use the occasional drop of Zaditor when my eyes were itchy. Now I'm back on Alrex 4x/day and my eyes are still not as good as they were prior to the shots being terminated (due to UHC's denial).<br /><br />If they didn't help, believe me I wouldn't be getting them. My allergist is the next town over, so dedicating two hours per week just to get jabbed in the arm 4x each trip isn't exactly hobby material ;) <br /><br />But dedicating two hours per week to feel worlds better... I can do that. Easy.<br /><br />It's a moot point at the moment, though, because I can't get them until the appeal works its way through United Healthcare's channels and we see where everything falls out. My insurance broker and my doctor's office seem to feel pretty confident they'll get it covered, and that United Healthcare is just wanting to avoid the expense, but in the meantime my wellbeing is significantly less without the shots.<br /><br />Not much I can do about it for now except breathe. Through my mouth, though. My nose is stopped back up too...Amandahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14775794907218052899noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31322943.post-15400881633388060612013-05-30T14:54:24.854-05:002013-05-30T14:54:24.854-05:00Do the shots help you?

And I know, honey, I know....Thanks Norma. Me too.<br /><br />And I know, honey, I know... it's easier for me when you're dealing with it though :P<br /><br />I'm just so angry about this. First they claim they're denying the claim because the shots "aren't medically necessary". Then they claim they're denying it because "the doctor's office didn't get us documentation in the time we allotted". NOW they're saying it's due to this ridiculous "date of service doesn't align with the records we were sent". <br /><br />Yes, those same records I was told earlier today you... didn't receive?<br /><br />They can't even keep their stories straight, and I think that's what pisses me off the most. This is just such a flagrant attempt to avoid having to cover my claim, and meanwhile I'm already back on the stupid steroid eye drops.<br /><br />I need to start learning Braille. Pretty sure even if health insurance covers that they'll find a way to deny the claim...Amandahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14775794907218052899noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31322943.post-69593197503781846302013-05-28T17:35:02.375-05:002013-05-28T17:35:02.375-05:00I go through the same thing with my insurance comp...I go through the same thing with my insurance company. Every freakin' time the kids or I have to go to the doctor it's the same crap. It's only going to get worse, IMO.Brenthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10838587115398427010noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31322943.post-80755470858905593202013-05-28T16:17:14.294-05:002013-05-28T16:17:14.294-05:00Bureaucracy at its finest.
