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. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Ellie May" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, December 18, 2007 11:54:21 AM (GMT-0600) America/Chicago Subject: Re: [Transverse Myelitis Support] OT - Insurance problems 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.

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!
