I, obviously, was so excited with my last post. We were moving forward, right then. Things were rolling.
I called our new insurance company yesterday to see if I could get a price on the medications. I was told no. They could only give me our co-pay {Responsible for 50% of their allotted costs, whatever that amount is} and that the pharmacy would provide the exact amount when the prescription is filled. I then felt the nudging to verify coverage with the doctor {even though the office kept telling me we were covered}.
Then the news came.
Dr. Ahlering is not a "preferred provider" for our new insurance. :-( I asked to have it verified, again. The address. The name. Everything.
We cannot, nor would we, pay out of pocket for doctors visits when I could just switch to another RE to get the coverage. No matter how much I loved or was moving on.
So I asked if Dr. Pearlstone {the Dr I have had the appointment on Feb. 3 with since back in October!} is a preferred provider. YES! Yes he is! At least that is going for us... Boy am I glad I did not cancel that appointment like Charles was questioning me on!
So good news. 6 days until we get hope that is approved by our insurance company. 6 days until, hopefully, the obsession begins again. 6 days before a new POA is given and the ball gets rolling again. 6 days... I can wait 6 days. That's only a one week wait. :-)
So although it sucks we had to completely halt everything we are excited to at least still have something soon to look forward to. :-) So I'll hopefully have good news to update with in 6 days...
