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!

@rwinney I am very troubled to hear this Rachel. Not only about your issues with Medicare hassling you about your meds but these job issues caused by the lockdown (I never say by the virus because I believe it was the gov't stupidity with their handling of this whole thing that is to blame for the problems working people and small businesses are having. End of political speech.) I am upset that the little pencil pushers make such asinine decisions in cases such as yours and Jim's.

I am a true blue ignoramus about insurance. Linda has, fortunately, managed to skate through all of her ordeal with no lasting ins. hassles (there was one time I thought I was going to have to cough up a surprise $8000 after a surgery but a nice lady found a way to solve that.) And it helps she does not take any prescription meds. My very heartfelt sympathy for you and your husband for this ordeal you face, both the health issues and the dumb things Medicare does to make your life even harder, and the difficulties that have been piled on by the lockdown. Fortunately for you, you are in possession of an indomitable will, as evidenced by everything you do and say in this forum. My best always Rachel, Hank
