@#%$ 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.

Yeah. And they do stuff like this to cancer patients and other people who can barely get the mental and physical energy up to make their own dinners. People whose brains aren't working right due to chemotherapy or other issues.

It makes me mad.

I wish you much stamina and patience for dealing with this.
