| | | So...will my insurance really give me an answer tomorrow?
This is the third date insurance told me that they would give me an answer on cgms. Tomorrow. The other 2 dates they came up with excuses why they don't have on yet. Will they have a decision tomorrow? Place your dibs now! |

| | | Good luck, funnygirl.........I really hope you get an answer today! My endo submitted a letter to my insurance back on July 2nd and I'm STILL waiting for an answer. I've called United Healthcare several times and all they keep saying is "it's under review".

| | | I doubt it mainly because this takes time. And since there's not enough research studies showing the true benefit of a CGMS there isn't much benefit to an insurance company. All the benefit is "assumed" and not "proven."

All the benefit is "assumed" and not "proven." | My endo was able to find some studies on the benefit and cited those. I didn't make up this date, this is the day they told me it's be done. I have class now, but when I come back, I'm calling. |

| | | The "Nos" have it! Try again tomorrow, probably by Thursday is the answer now. However, "We approve these things all the time." Okee... |

| | Sheesh. I sure hope they don't continue to string you along.  Hopefully they will provide an answer for you by Thursday & hopefully, it's a "Yes."
Similar to what Beth said in another thread, it's frustrating enough trying to juggle blood sugar levels (control & balancing), as well as dealing with other people's ignorance. Throw the hassle of dealing with insurance (or in her case, pharmacies) in the mix & you have a cocktail for the reasons why many suffer health troubles (at least in my not so humble opinion).
Sorry they're putting you through this, Funny.
