I wish I could say I was doing great but didn’t have my surgery on Monday because my insurance company is giving my surgeon and me the run around. They denied coverage and making us jump through provider appeal hoops. They are trying to get out of paying for it in my opinion (my coverage ends on 5/31 and I have new coverage starting 6/1). Ugh! My spinal cord is being injured as I type (only have 8mm of space in my spinal canal at C6-C7 and the average person has 13-15mm).

@dlydailyhope
Are you by chance a teacher and are retiring?
Just wondering about your insurance coverage and if this is the case, I may have some good news for you about this situation. Let me know.

@dlydailyhope I’m so sorry to hear that! Talk about waiting until the last minute when you were mentally and physically prepared for surgery! It definitely sounds like they could be trying to avoid paying for the surgery.
I hope you can get it scheduled soon!
