Thank you all for your advice and answers to my problems. IF this happens
again, I now know that there are other possibilities.
I had called my benefits advacate yesterday when I got the run around with the
insurance company. I just received a call from her - the problem has been
resolved. She also told me that if this happens again, just call her and she
will personnally call and have the date changed so that I can get my
prescriptions.
I guess I just over reacted due to the stress and pain. If you do "roar"
enough sometimes you are heard. I just hate to but pain really changes my
personality both before TM and even more so after!
Again, thank you all.
Prayers and thoughts for you and yours,
Candy K.

Candy - so sorry to hear of your dilemma. I don't know if this will work or
not, but try to call your doctor's office and see if they have any samples
available of your meds. Also, ask if there is an injection you can get at their
office that will help with the pain until you can get the insurance
straightened out. You might also consider a trip to the e.r. if all else fails.
I hope this helps. Our thoughts are with you. Ellie

I'm sitting here in tears due to physical pain and flustration with my COBRA
insurance.
I got the 11 month extension but they raised my rates by 50%. I sent the
payment of 847.28 in and it cleared my bank on 12/6 for 347.28 - their error.
On 12/7 I discovered the error and went to my bank. The bank looked the check
up and it diffently shows 847.28 everywhere on the check, I got a certified
copy of my check showing the 847.28. The bank credited my account for 347.28
and subtracted the proper amount of 847.28.
On Sunday, 12/16, I go to get my prescriptions and the claim has been denied
and if I want my prescriptions, I need to pay 597.78! Of course I almost flip
out and don't get my prescriptions because I can't afford that amount
especially after paying my health insurance.
For the past 2 days, I have been trying to get the insurance company to get my
account straightened out - "it usually takes 24 to 48 hours" or so they say.
So meanwhile, I sit in pain, which is probably made even worse because I'm so
upset! I keep trying to tell myself to calm down and relax because I know being
upset just makes everything worse - the pain and my walking and general
functioning!
What recourse do we have because of errors of someone else!
Thanks for letting me vent - most of the time I can remain up but this is just
too much for me today after the past 48 hours!
Prayers and thoughts for you and yours,
Candy K.
