Hi Jim @jimhd, I'm guessing you might already know this but you can file an appeal if Medicare denies the morphine sulfate contin that you've been taking for over 7 years to help with the pain. More info on Medicare.gov - https://www.medicare.gov/claims-appeals/how-do-i-file-an-appeal Hoping they will continue to cover the medication and not cause any additional pain for you.

Great that you bring this up John. I am always fighting/appealing for meds, infusions, my rights to disability, both Medicare and MetLife. It's exhausting but, must be done to secure what we rightfully are due. I don't think may folks on this forum are on employment disability but let me tell you, they are VERY difficult. I was cut off (with no prior warning) from benefits in Feb bc my dr didnt send in paperwork. It took 2 months to appeal and finally get my money back. Tough time to go without income as my husband was unemployed from Covid and I've taken a pay cut being disabled. Now I'm in the midst of another review after just being reinstated in April, then just found out the rules change after 24 months and state that although I cant perform my old jobs duties, they state I can perform some duties, somewhere so they're cutting me off again. This all comes in October while at Mayo. So I'll be dropped again and will need to appeal. It's complete BS and is mind blowing as I have ample proof, evidence and multiple Drs backing me. That will be 3 major hurdles in one year but, I will fight again regardless of its mental and physical drain. No other choice bc of money. Jim - you fight for that medicine if it works and you need it. Screw them!

John, you are such a gem! I love how you are such a wealth of knowledge and put forth the time and effort to share direct resources that can help so many of us. Thank you for doing that! Many blessings, Sunny flower
