Kaymyth she/her Posted June 2, 2017 Posted June 2, 2017 My insurance company has...displeased me. I got Thing on March 15. Insurance is attempting to not cover this particular brand of Thing. The problems with this: 1. Doctor called Insurance company before I got Thing. They were assured this brand of Thing is covered. I have documentation of this. 2. My work's insurance SPD document clearly states that all FDA-approved Things are covered. 3. The ACA states that all FDA-approved Things must be covered. Now it is time to fax in my appeal letter and documentation. Beware, Insurance company, for you are now about to face the wrath of She Who Researches And Documents All. YOUR DOOM IS NIGH. 5
Mestiv he/him Posted June 2, 2017 Posted June 2, 2017 @Kaymyth sue them, win 50 million dollars and sponsor a nice wedding for @Delightfully Smoak and buy tickets to all the Sharders so we can attend. What do you think, doable? 4

What do you think, doable? That outcome seems just a wee bit unrealistic. I'm mostly shooting for "get them to cover Thing like they're supposed to." If that fails, my goal will become, "Cost them more money than it would have been to just cover Thing." 2

Pestis the Spider she/her Posted June 3, 2017 Posted June 3, 2017 (edited) Ummmmm... I feel really frustrated today, because I can't use the Shard, and I haven't used it for a long, long time. The reason for that is that once upon a time I failed a lot of people here, then freaked out, then decided to completely disappear. Now I am to embarrassed and scared to just come back like that. But I noticed that someone mentioned me recently in one of the topics, and that really made me remember how much I used to like the Shard. So I am a sad disappointment of a user. Do you think I can come back to the Shard despite that? I'm asking 100% seriously. EDIT: Yes, it is my description of a bad day. Edited June 3, 2017 by Pestis the Spider

Pestis is back!" So as far as I'm concerned, you're always welcome here. As for my contribution to this thread, today. rusting. sucked. Remember a couple months ago, when I said I almost had a breakdown over not wanting to go to work? Yeah, well, today I came this close to actually losing it at work. Actual tears were shed (though not visibly, I hope), and I alternated anger, anguish, despair, and apathy just about my entire shift. The worst part? We didn't even break a thousand cars, which is rather unusual for Saturday -- last week we had 1100. I guess I never really realized how much we depended on volunteers. It helps that I now have a hot foot bath and homemade strawberry ice cream, though.

Yesterday I had a pretty bad day too, I had an important exam but I couldn't do it because like an hour before the exam's begining I had an anxiety attack, I couldn't breathe and I was crying a lot.So now I'm gonna spend all the summer studyng because I need to pass this subject in September.

The appeal letter I faxed them was suitably professional with some subtle salt thrown in. I divided it into three points: 1. "You told the doctor's office that you covered this brand of Thing before it was installed. Here is the reference number for the phone call, cos I know you record rusting everything." 2. "Your SPD document says that you cover ALL FDA-approved Things." 3. "The ACA says you have to cover ALL FDA-approved Things." And then I told them that if they denied my appeal, my next step would be to contact the Kansas Insurance Commissioner. 22 hours ago, Pestis the Spider said: Ummmmm...

I'm guessing your mom had a pretty strong bond with her grandmother. She may try to cover her distress around you because it's extremely awkward for parents to lean on their kids in times of emotional turmoil, so you will probably have to be proactive about being there for her. If yours is a huggy family, give her hugs. Help with chores more than usual. Bake a batch of cookies on the sneak. And if your mom starts to cry, don't freak out. She needs to purge the grief out of her system; try to create an environment where she can feel like it is OK to do so. 6

Either doing it yourself or taking it to a tech expert for repair?
