well i was able to make it through radiation today with out getting burned up, well from stuff not made by radiation, if you read yesterdays post you know what i am rambling about.
there is a whole lot of talk about medical insurance, our government and how things should be done, i have one thing to add to the wish list , simplified billing.
i get my radiation, CAT scans, PET scans and all at the same hospital, i have one patient number, but every time i go in there i get a different account number for a different area of the hospital and for every different procedure, do i need to explain more?
So as you know, what i have is not a cheap disease, good thing is that at least me paying all them bump in premium for the "super duper" medical plan comes into play, the hospital is a solid cigna member so everything is 90/10 . yaa me..2000.00 out of pocket cap..yaaa me..wait, why do the bills total (my side) over 3k now? cigna is looking in to that.
i am paying money on my patient number, they call me and say that i need to pay on the procedure number, does not make sense to me, i have talk to a nice lady in the billing department who is trying to fix that.
now credit where credit is due, medco and cigna did well by me, the radiation causes this mucus/pus /slime to form in my mouth, gums up everything, taste bad, you get the idea, they prescribe a rinse for my mouth works great, sample pack cleans it out, help heals the sore, got a script for it 700.00.
did you just pass out?
Cigna and Medco talked it over, as it was deemed medically needed it will now be covered at 40.00! the pharmacist was kind of shocked, never seen anything approved like that in that fast of a manner. The drug is a name brand, course specific drug, no one else makes it, and no one else makes anything like that.
but aside from that i have a date with some IV bottles tomorrow, so it is early and i will try and sleep, if i cant at least i will be awake till they plug the IV into me and i will take a nap then.
take care out there
