Candy, I am so very sorry that you have had to endure this, on top of everything else. My gosh, those rates are unbelievable! Will pray that this is resolved very soon for you. Take a deep breath and try to relax - as you said it only makes your body feel worse when you get that upset. I know that is true for most of us. Please take care.

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.
