@#%$ 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.

Oh dammit. I almost feel sorry for them, messing with you and not knowing what's about to hit them.

almost.

Well, not really.

When you're kicking their green-bleeding corporate asses, be sure and throw in a couple extra licks for Shiny too, OK?

I think what chafes the most is that we set this up this summer *because* it was on a list of "pre-approved" services, for 20 sessions. Just enough to cover Summer.
