@#%$ Insurance Company

[judifilksign]

 So Sparkle's "pre-approved" speech therapy has been denied by our insurance company.  As soon as the speech therapy's office gets us the paperwork, with all the proper numbers, I shall be having long wait times and conversations with the insurance company regarding this BS.

I keep reading online on how this is an ongoing issue with many autistic spectrum therapies.  On paper, it appears to be approved - until you try to use it.  Then, it's denied until you get on the phone and fight for it.

Cost savings through inconvenience.  I bet there's a bunch of people without my stubbornness who'd give up faced with the hassle and bureaucracy.  If they think I'm one of those sheep, they are SADLY mistaken.

Good luck. I hope it's just a minor paperwork mistake. (I've had other things not-approved in the past because of miscoding on the part of the doctor, for example.) Fingers crossed that the first person you get on the line is helpful, friendly, and fixes it all right away - it does happen sometimes, I hope this is one of those times!
