Guest guest Posted April 28, 1999 Report Share Posted April 28, 1999 DEE I understand. Only with the birth of a child, you know for sure that that child is coming out, but who knows where the ins battle will lead. I know about the denial depression too - actually I am going through it now. You should go ahead with the materials for Dr R simply to free up your future time for the insurance battle if need be. I finished up all the required stuff for Dr R and then got my denial - big bummer. However, I know that when I finally get my approval, I can call and make the appointment for the next day if Dr R is available. I have waited lng enough!!!!!!!good luck Kathy Kaiser Permanente appealing again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted April 29, 1999 Report Share Posted April 29, 1999 Felicia-- Get as much of your paperwork done as you can. You'll really be glad that it's ready if you run into any snags. Katy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted May 2, 1999 Report Share Posted May 2, 1999 Get everything ready ahead of time. It will also help you pass time until your approval comes through and even if they deny it the first time you will be at a point where you can concentrate on the appeal, not the preliminaries. Good luck. We're all pulling for you. Pam, NC surgery 1-4-99 Pre-op 314, as of 4-21-99 244 1/2; 70 down, 80 to go. Dr. R is the absolute best!
