Good news... 14 months ago

Well, encouraging, at any rate. The insurance company approved the hormone treatment that the neurologist requested/recommended. I was so sure they’d turn it down based on cost; apparently I’m far more jaded than I realized!

The medicine is being sent overnight; we’ll have it tomorrow and a nurse is coming to the house to show us how to give our daughter the shots. She will continue her antiseizure medicine for now; the doctor doesn’t want to change that for the time being. These shots SHOULD stop her seizures and return her EEG to normal.

WE’re still going to do bloodwork, but this is so encouraging. I’m so relieved, just that the insurance company is willing to let us do this, to try this.

This is GREAT!

Although you were absolutely right to be cynical about your insurance company and what they would and wouldn’t authorize, I am SO glad they didn’t give you any crap!

Good for you guys!

Thank you!

I didn’t realize I was that jaded, but well…go figure. You deal with insurance companies enough, you get that way!

Whew. I can’t begin to describe the relief.

Insurance companies are disgusting...

...reprehensible things! The ONLY thing they care about is money…theirs, not yours.

And they couldn’t care less about your health.

THIS time it worked out for you guys and I couldn’t be happier.

I just found out tonight...

Just how MUCH they came through for us. We received half of the medicine today – along with a statement of what we are to pay and what the insurance is covering. We owe $50; the insurance paid over $73,2500.

That’s for HALF. Unbelievable.

I’m grateful for this – I appreciate what’s happening for us now.
