Guest guest Posted March 11, 2001 Report Share Posted March 11, 2001 : Yes! stubborness does count as a sympton of MSA. Isn't it in the by law or something. Next to not using the wheelchair. I wouldn't mind Fred not using his wheelchair, if he hadn't asked the doctor for it himself, but it's been one big pain in the neck ( now I know why I have a stiff neck) The doctor put in to buy it after Fred asked for it. It came, that part is ok, but after that , boy oh boy. I got an authorization from them for September , heard nothing about anything for oct, nov or dec. Then I got a bill from the w/c company for rental on it. I called and asked why I had gotten the bill. They said that the insuance wasn't paying on it, so I would have to. I called the insuance , they said they didn't pay on it because they didn't get an authorization from the doctor, so I called the doctors and talked to them, they said they didn't put in another authorization because they were buying it. So the doctor put in to have the authoriztion for the three months to be paid and another to buy it again. Well the doctor got the authorization to buy it, I've got the copy, the w/c company send me a letter showing that it was purchase on this date and it's our zero balance. Yes! that is fixed, wrong I got another bill showing now I owe for sept, oct,nov, dec, jan, & feb. So I call the w/c company to fine out what is what now. I tolded them that the w/c was purchase and I have a statement showing no balance. I'm tolded that because the w/c wasn't purchase until dec and that the rental is still due on it. I asked why I was charged for jan , feb if the w/c had been purchase in dec. They didn't know. I have spend hours on the phone trying to fine out what is what with this w/c. I'm sick of voice mail of who ever, staying on the line to talk to someone about it just to be cut off and have to call back and then when you wait on line ,you just get voice mail again. What ever happend to music? I did get ahold of someone at the w/c company they said they took care of it and are billing the healthcare again for the rental, so I got a statement that it is paid again, then the next day I get note from the healthcare saying that there was no authorization for the w/c from the doctor and they won't pay for it. So right now I don't know what is what. Oh and I forgot during this whole time the w/c bill has gone to collection. So am I upset about Fred not using his w/c, you better believe it after all this. But believe me his going to start using it. I can be stubborn too Vera Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
