Dear Steven,

Thu Oct 8, 2009, 6:40 AM
We are going to throw you for a fucking loop. Two letters; same insurance company which no longer provides benefits for me.

(Paraphrased)

Dear Steven,
We have deemed your wound vac medically unnecessary. Because of this, we will not assist in paying the (over) $2,000 charge for this medical treatment. You may appeal this decision. Have a good day.

--
First of all, I've had an open wound since December 17th, the date of my first surgery. The ONLY thing that's helped it close AT ALL was the fucking wound vac. ONLY THING. Medically unnecessary? Even after a second surgery designed to assist my wound in closure that merely made it larger and reshaped? What the fuck are people thinking? Naturally, we appealed the decision.

(Paraphrased)

Dear Steven,
Why are you appealing the decision about the wound vac? We didn't deny it. In fact, it's already been paid. Here's the check number and a whole bunch of dates that have nothing to do with the wound vac: &^#$*&#%. Have a good day.

--
I'm on a time constraint and my parents just left for the next 6 days. They have all the necessary paperwork, so I can't do jack shit about it. Seriously. What the fuck?

:( Insurance companies suck balls. They only 'help' you when they profit off of it.

It makes no human sense to say that the ONLY treatment that's helped was 'medically unnecessary'. I hope whoever made that decision falls down some stairs, gets a 13" open wound in their back and has to use a wound vac. Fuckin' prick.

One of those things you hate, but can't live without. Speaking of which, how's you? :lol:

I've had to stall work on your beanie for a little bit until I get paid (I need to get green yarn, though it's not going to be as bright as it should be...). And do you want me to attempt to line the inside of the beanie? It'll make it warmer.

Tell me about it. I'm seriously considering canceling my insurance, getting just catastrophic (in case of a major accident or something) and paying my insurance premium into a bank account instead. I earn interest and I don't lose any of it if I don't spend it by the end of the year.

Steven, you'd be surprised how many things they deem "medically unnecessary" because it's not mainstream, or sometimes for no reason at all--whether it helped or not means nothing to them. It's a sick system. (Obama's crazy ideas wouldn't fix it--it'd make things worse--but something does need to be done, because it's corrupt from the inside out.)
