Health insurance does help in trying times, but at the same time, it could give you problems. I’m not saying that you shouldn’t get insurance. What I’m pointing out is that some people tend to overlook details regarding their policies that they are sometimes dumbfounded when everything comes to light. It’s important to be in the know-how especially if our health is in play.<br /><br /><br /><a href="http://www.davewilliamson.net/My-Services.4.htm" rel="nofollow">Hershel Duffey</a>Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00008667329401907889noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6508287140975351636.post-64054955877265965082013-02-19T10:52:59.741-05:002013-02-19T10:52:59.741-05:00I believe it’s a process for all insurance compani...I believe it’s a process for all insurance companies to have at least a medical certificate before they cover the process or operation you will undergo. Fair warning: not all health insurance companies have the same services. Some may give you an option of undergoing a lot of surgical treatments while others don’t. Choose wisely, and check if the insurance you’re getting will be beneficial for you in the long run.<br /><br /><a href="http://www.insurancebycity.com/health-insurance.html" rel="nofollow">Elnora Cowge</a>Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07616301496603507186noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6508287140975351636.post-14711505869977453582013-02-17T20:11:14.697-05:002013-02-17T20:11:14.697-05:00Thanks for all the feedback.Thanks for all the feedback.spldbchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05505641654468777964noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6508287140975351636.post-60089516526826954472013-02-05T14:48:14.352-05:002013-02-05T14:48:14.352-05:00I agree with Alyssa.

Talk to your insurance company and explain that it is a part of your medical treatment. But if they refuse to heed your request, it may be best to look for a new insurance company that will address your needs.<br /><br /><a href="http://www.insuranceatyourfingertips.com/cheap_term_life_insurance_quotes" rel="nofollow">Keith Andrew</a><br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17064670558631037893noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6508287140975351636.post-1393215257044410392013-01-16T01:37:42.487-05:002013-01-16T01:37:42.487-05:00This comment has been removed by the author.Fijufichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00626543577510367007noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6508287140975351636.post-22099567209747763772013-01-14T15:49:04.139-05:002013-01-14T15:49:04.139-05:00I'm so sorry that you're having to go thro...I'm so sorry that you're having to go through this. I understand the worries of not having coverage for NECESSARY medications.<br />Might I suggest that you contact the pharmacutical company that makes the drug that you take. The medications I take are necessary for my survival, so the company that makes at least one of them has stated (and the hospital that gave me my transplant) if I ever can't afford the drug to call them and they will try to help me cover the cost. I don't know what kind of assistance they would be able to give, but I know the offer is there. Perhaps the maker of your drug would be willing to help reduce the cost for you as well.<br />I would also recommend making a financial case to the insurance company. As in, what would happen if you didn't take this medication. What would the costs to them be if you had to be hospitalized or have some other medical procedure to fix what the lack of medication caused. I have made financial arguements to insurance companies and won an favorable decision that way before.<br />I wish you the best of luck!<br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18408003625765571437noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6508287140975351636.post-32823394578226680582013-01-13T23:17:10.545-05:002013-01-13T23:17:10.545-05:00They tossed me out of speech therapy in less than ...They tossed me out of speech therapy in less than a year with a serious brain injury that required me to learn to swallow before speech. I had to go use students at University for four more years for their training. They helped even spur me on to new ideas, like swimming to improve air flow while speaking. Yes, a case manager helps but they rarely assign one, unless it is a big disability. I still on the edge of just dropping my plan to use the premiums for maintenance and not filling their balance sheets, since I can't meet my deductible each year. The fear of death, keeps us paying them instead of using the money wisely.Was Oncehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14997943977882019444noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6508287140975351636.post-87065367319477273082013-01-13T16:52:29.809-05:002013-01-13T16:52:29.809-05:00Do you have an insurance nurse case manager assign...Do you have an insurance nurse case manager assigned to your case? The problem is that nowadays, it's the nurse case manager that spends time convincing insurance companies that treatments are medically necessary, not the physician. Perhaps one of these insurance case managers can get a hold of the doctor and have a dialogue to help you out.<br /><br />Such is the case with increasing medical costs. If a treatment is deemed not "medically necessary", it's cut out. Unfortunately, I don't see things getting better anytime soon. Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
