Ranting and venting
I am so frustrated. Nothing has changed other than I received a copy of the denial in writing today. They state the denial is based on the FDA has not approved a cervical two level. AND THE FDA HAS APPROVED A TWO LEVEL. Do they think they can just lie? Do they think I don't know that the FDA has approved? Did they not read the appeal paperwork that includes the FDA approval???? I feel like this is nothing more than a delay tactic and I AM IN PAIN AND IMPATIENT. I am trying not to take it personal,but just for today, I'm letting it be personal and I am mad! On the other hand, now I can have an external review. I hope that whomever looks over my last chance appeal realizes just because the insurance co says something, doesn't mean its true. .;$!!@%#£>?!!  thanks for listening. Had to get that out. I feel better.
