The insurance coordinator called today to let me know that the referral was NOT in the system as of this morning. So I called the PCP’s office to make sure they got it and submitted it. They got my message, and planned to do it “sometime tomorrow.” Okay, I placed the call on Tuesday… you’re going to get it done on Thursday. THAT IS NOT 24 HOURS (like your message promises). I attempted to impress upon this (twit) that it is very very important that it be done immediately. She just kept saying, “Sure! Tomorrow!” OMFG I wanted to shake her. I think I got her to agree to do it tomorrow morning, after me attempting to explain the urgency of the situation (she totally did not get it), but I will be calling tomorrow morning to make sure. If it’s not done I may be taking a leave of absence from work to drive down to the doctor’s office and yell at someone. I am SO frustrated. Another day delayed.<\/p>\n
I have explained everything to the insurance coordinator (who tried putting the pre-auth on file with insurance so it’d be ready when the referral came through, but it was sent back so she needs to wait). She’s very sweet and very understanding.<\/p>\n
If this gets filed tomorrow (which it had better be, or I am going to have a complete FIT) it gives a week, Thursday to Thursday, so I can order the meds Thursday and have them arrive Friday. A week. This is still doable. I’m not ready to throw my hands in the air yet… but I’m really freaking out. I am angry because I am scared<\/i>.<\/p>\n
But the lupron did arrive as promised, so I had my first injection tonight. It was almost anti-climactic. I remember my first IVF cycle, when I read the instructions five times, wrote notes, studied diagrams, had to draw up the medicine three times before I got it right. This time it was bam-bam-bam, done. My fingers are practiced at needles. And, as before, I barely felt it. The lupron is easy.<\/p>\n
So I am just following the plan until things either work out or fall apart. I won’t know for another week, basically. It’s a matter of holding my breath and waiting. And possibly calling to yell at some receptionist… we shall see.<\/p>\n
Deep breaths. I somehow have to concentrate through work tomorrow. And I have a feeling this is only the tip of the iceburg on that matter.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
