Birthdays, Thanks & Insurance Issues AGAIN!

Thanksgiving has passed but I will always be thankful for Dr. Fethke, Dr. Weinstein & the staff at The Children's Hospital of Montefiore for repairing Viola's heart. They did a great job and Viola seems to be recovering so well.  She ate a lot of turkey on Thanksgiving and fell to sleep after dinner, just like everyone else!  We also had her first birthday/recovery party!  Everyone had a good time and Viola got LOTS of gifts.  I love how a lot of the clothes had hearts on them!   Thank you to everyone who came out!  She also had her first day of daycare and did GREAT!  Let’s hope she keeps it up!

Now on to my latest insurance company vent.  Today as I was reviewing my bank records and notice some of my co-pays are thru the roof!!!  I order our scripts thru the mail so they send them every month.  Empire told me last month that they would “fix” my coverage to reflect Viola RSV shots to be a major medical expense (not under RX).  Well they fixed it all right…..This month’s scripts have cost about $700!!  The good news is that their hours are M-F 8-5 (you know the hours I WORK!)  And last month when they “fixed” this I was on the phone for about 4 hours!!!  Here we go again!  I know they are charging me the wrong amounts for my co-pays, but I’m wondering since I didn’t see it till now (after I received them in the mail) if they will reimburse me.  Well I sure the hell am going to try!  Its total BS!  I keep everyone posted!
