Guest guest Posted August 20, 2004 Report Share Posted August 20, 2004 I am getting a second quote on my dentistry and I'll go from there. I don't want to spend our savings. Although says, go for it, I still feel like I'm being gouged. I'll let you know. Take care of yourself, Liz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 8, 2004 Report Share Posted October 8, 2004 I did mention that they were obviously trying to kill me before they had to pay for a transplant. The cust svc rep was aghast that I could think such a thing. What do you think about copying the insurance company on a letter to my brother (Executor) and sister (children's guardian) detailing the refusal to treat the problem and instructing them to file a wrongful death suit on behalf of my minor children if anything happens to me? Maybe a letter to the insurance commissioner with a copy to Coventry? I've got a headache from fighting and crying. I'm open to any ideas.

Guest guest Posted October 8, 2004 Report Share Posted October 8, 2004 Thanks, , I needed that hug. They certainly won't tell me or the doctor under what conditions they would approve it. How you feeling today, honey?

If your numbers drop to at or near life threatening would they approve it? I know you have to be exhausted right now and I wish there was something I could do to help. Considered yourself hugged...

Guest guest Posted October 8, 2004 Report Share Posted October 8, 2004 What about the wheezing I've been doing today after months of no asthmatic problems?

Keep up on your labs and watch for increasing shortness of breath. When I was fired for having Hep C,I had end stage liver disease and when we mentioned wrongful death,I was fully reinstated 3 weeks later.

Guest guest Posted October 9, 2004 Report Share Posted October 9, 2004 I haven't had to use my inhaler but once since I started tx. I don't even have any at the house now because they all expired! It must have been the stress and crying yesterday because I'm not wheezing today.

Guest guest Posted October 9, 2004 Report Share Posted October 9, 2004 I called the drug store this morning. The procrit is about $1400 without insurance. Geez! I'll give the patient's assistance a shot & be sure the doc re-filed with a diagnosis of chemotherapy induced anemia. I'll keep you posted on the Hgb.
