Angry on the phone transition
I swear to god insurance companies can literally put you in a mental hospital. Today I literally went ballistic with how sheerly stupid the insurance company is. Me and my “case worker” at my doctors office have been working on getting these damned wheelchair parts approved with the insurance company and they have been real bozos. Especially today with them asking for more codes when we don’t have anymore, we can’t give them anything better than K0108 (Misc. Wheelchair Accessory) for most of my parts because the head honcho idiots at CMS / SADMERC do not give us enough product codes! So we decided to just code everything as K0108 just so we can get the damned authorization to order the parts, and let the wheelchair company fix any problems IF they occur AFTER I get my parts! About friggen time. I been going for these parts for over 6 months now dammit! I got a call into the wheelchair guy and will hopefully get official status that the orders have been initiated tomorrow.
More updates to follow!
