Slade thought I was wasting my time to appeal the denial of insurance coverage for Sawyer's growth hormones. And by the end of the day yesterday I began to think he was right.
But who else was going to advocate for my son?
This morning after passing through security, not being left alone in their building, being assured no one had no prior knowledge of the situation I met with a panel of 6 reviewers. I faked as much confidence as I could and read my prepared speech.
They asked me questions (wait, this wasn't supposed to be interactive.) "There is a lapse in data from your doctor. Why is that?" Happily I replied, "Your plans don't cover wellness check ups. We had him measured any time we were there for another concern." (But, hey, I thought you didn't know anything about the case?)
After being politely escorted from the building, I left still nervous.
But by the time I returned to my office, the decision had been made. . . APPROVED!! (That is for 21 days until we switch insurance providers. But that is not the point.)
So, the moral of the story is "ignore your husband's advice." Just kidding.
FIGHT FOR YOUR KIDS--NO ONE ELSE WILL!

Amen, amen, and amen. It's so hard being the loud-mouth in a kid's behalf, but the few times I've done it, I've been glad and it's worked out. I'm glad this one worked out for you (and Sawyer!). Way to go, woman! You won!
