Guest guest Posted June 18, 2004 Report Share Posted June 18, 2004 Sheesh Laurie, What a flake, like you really needed that extra stress.

Guest guest Posted June 18, 2004 Report Share Posted June 18, 2004 I have to share with you that this sounds much like my experience lately. My insurance changed durable medical equipment suppliers. Has this ever been fun. Just to give you one example of the joys of the new supplier - in March - my physician wrote a script for a new mask. It's a Nasal Air mask and she wanted me to have it before the March 26th surgery. Well.. I had gotten 2 nasal pillows (cost of about $6.00) so my expert RT told me that I would have to wait until June to get the Nasal Air as the pillows are considered a mask and the insurance requires 90 days between masks. OK. well I guess she's right. I made a note on my calendar to contact her on June 17th which was the date she requested my call back. I called yesterday but she was out of the office. The girl who answered wanted to take a message so I told her exactly why I was calling. She said..let me check your account. She came back after checking the account and said.. we show that you received the Nasal Air on March 19th. I said What???? She said you have them. I told her .. no.. my RT wouldn't leave it because of the insurance issue. Well.. this am.. the RT called me. She said she was sure I had the Nasal Air but when I reminded her of our conversation, she said she vageuly remembered this. I told her that she had brought the mask twice but could only leave it if I paid for the mask myself. Since the wait was only 90 days, I had told her I would wait but I have to tell you I really questioned that 90 day wait with a prescription from my doctor. Now.. she's going to check into this and she'll let me know how she made out when she comes to the house on Thursday morning to pick up the CPAP with the Tytrate testing I'm doing for 2 weeks at home. Hang in there, Laurie. Yo no entiendo el español cualquiera. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 18, 2004 Report Share Posted June 18, 2004 Alice It does seem we are once again traveling similar roads. I don't know about you, but I am ready to get off the road and sit some place else. I hope you get your problems ironed out. It has got to be frustrating to spend so much of our limited energy dealing with such things. I sometimes wonder how much better we would all feel, if we didn't have to fight these battles all the time. Did Bryce have his surgery or is it next week? How did he do if it has already happened. laurie > > Reply-To: > Date: Fri, 18 Jun 2004 23:11:36 GMT > To: > Subject: Re: Laurie; Re: C-PAP > > > I have to share with you that this sounds much like my experience lately.
