I know that there are SO many of you out there who don’t even have insurance or insurance near as good as ours is. I know that I am blessed to have what I do have. It doesn’t mean that I don’t still need to vent every now and again.
Ok CF mommies – here’s one I know a lot of you deal with. A fundamental key to keeping our CF kids healthy is keeping their weight and nutrition up, right??? And most of you struggle with this continuously, right??? And there are studies proving that keeping them at or above weight also keeps their lung function up, right??? So, then why is it that our insurance will not pay for Cole to see a dietician? Even after I appealed and our Doctor wrote a letter to the insurance company explaining the necessity of it! At this point it isn’t even about the money we have to pay every time to see her – it’s the principle behind it. Or maybe that I didn’t win the fight – probably both. Every time you go through the hassle of appealing the denial of a claim it’s just kind of like rubbing alcohol on an open wound. Then when you give them all the proof that this is a valid need and that it will probably save them money in the end and they still deny you it’s just a bit incomprehensible. I can’t imagine what parents feel like who’s children die because the insurance company is denying them the coverage of a procedure they need to live.
