remolded

Our Dr looked over the scans and agreed that Ian needs to be remolded. He signed off on the medical necessity paperwork and the orthotics company sent all the info to insurance on Friday 7/16 it can take up to 30days for insurance to make a decision. Now, no matter what insurance decides Ian will be remolded with that said you wonder why wait the 30 days to hear back from insurance. Well, we thought the same thing in fact I already made an appt for measurements to be taken and what not. But, I'm going to cancel that appt. and reschedule for later because if you look at from a business perspective they won't work as hard and be on top of insurance to come back with a decision if we have already given them money. We all know how insurance works and businesses work...the evaluation scan was 350 or that is what they will bill insurance if insurance won't cover it then they will only charge us what it costs them to do the scan. Can you says screwed up?? The amount they would charge us is about half what they would charge insurance. So now 2x a week I will be calling insurance and once a week I will be calling the orthotics people. Why?? Well I have learned that presistance pays off and I won't let them forget about my lil boy and what he needs. I called insurance 3x a week for 2 months straight to get them to change the way they were looking at Ian's hospital bill...pros and cons to be born on New Year's Eve. Anyways let the waiting game begin, too bad with insurance the saying no news is good doesn't apply:)

We will give insurance about 2wks to make their decision and then go ahead and make the appt for the scanning and measuring to take place and then it takes about 7-10days for them to get the remolder (I don't like the way helmet sounds) back and then the remolding can begin.
