Denied for DIEP Stage 2

I wanted to fit in an appointment with my plastic surgeon before the end of the year so we could start discussing the second stage of my DIEP reconstruction.

But I found out from the office person today that my insurance company is denying my out of network exception.

Swell! I wish I could say I'm surprised, but I'm not.

So I get to call "them" tomorrow and try to get this straightened out. Since that's probably going to take more than one quick call, I've cancelled the appointment with my ps and will wait to start on round 2 until next year.

Here's the totally frustrating thing--it's not like I can pick up a phone and call the one person who can fix this. I will have to start with the 800 number on my insurance card and work from there.

PITA, PITA, PITA, PITA and I'm not talking pocket.

I'll keep you posted.
