I will start off letting everyone know that Brooke's CT scan today was negative for any solid tumors (praise God) however we will have to wait to know if the cancer is back until Wed when she has her MIBG scan. It has been a very long day so going to keep this short so I can try to get to sleep early.
We left my Mom's house at 6:45 this morning for her CT scan but we weren't able to get the scan done until about 1:00pm! Insurance was denying coverage for it and we found out that they were denying coverage for last nights scan as well (they wanted us to drive to Maryland to have it done....ARE YOU KIDDING ME???). It took about 4 hours but CHOP was able to eventually get it approved but in the meantime Brooke was getting very agitated and starving since she wasn't allowed to eat until after the scan! I have no idea why and we have not, up until this point, had any problems with our insurance company. Hopefully this will be an isolated incedent.
We got home a little after 8 and I just got her to bed around 9pm but wanted to let everyone know the results. This will be a difficult week of waiting...please keep Brooke in your prayers.
Thank you so much.
God Bless,
Amy

Insurance companies can be so ridiculous sometimes. They lose site of the "human-side" which is so unfortunate.
ReplyDeletePraying for positive results for your family!!!
I am prayer for her, please keep everybody posted about her.
ReplyDeleteGod Bless you little one.
In the middle of all this health insurance legislation, my insurance company raised its rates 59% over the last two years. They shameless. And I have a HSA plan with a high deduct where the first $1,200 is at my cost. No claims either.
ReplyDeleteIf there is a hell, Insurance underwriters belong there....
God Bless you Brooke, Rob and Amy.
God bless you and your family. You're all in our prayers.
ReplyDeleteWe are praying for all of you. As far as the insurance company goes, you can expect problems from them. Be persistent and ugly if you have to be. Also a good plan of attack is to ask for a supervisor if it isn't approved. Good luck. Let us know how she is doing.
ReplyDeleteBrooke's family shouldn't have to worry about whether or not the insurance company is going to cover her care. This is why we NEED health care reform in this country to stop this kind of garbage. Families like Brooke's live in fear that the insurance company could drop her. Just because you have health insurance doesn't mean you can't be dropped. My prayers go out to this family
