So much paperwork!!!

Lately, my life has been full of stress and craziness. I had an infection, and had to fight to get antibiotics for it. There were problems with my doctor’s office getting the paperwork, and then the pharmacy had issues too. Finally, that hurdle was cleared.

Next, I have had issues with my insurance. I prefer to not go into the the details, but in general I had to submit 26 pages of documentation to proof my medical issues. When that was done, without warning, I was sent another large packet of paperwork which had to be completed in ONE day.

After frantically getting that done, it was submitted on time. In classic form, I was never contacted about the outcome of the case. Another medical company alluded to it in a correspondence I received. So, unofficially, the paperwork was accepted, and my insurance continues on.

When I thought I had all that resolved, then another issue came up. I had to submit more paperwork. I had to outline medical expenses and submit receipts for medical items and services I need. Thankfully, that was only about a 4-5 hour setback.

When I thought I had all that done, I got a call from my insurance. This was an interrogation call to make sure things I had submitted were accurate. The call ended I think on a good note. There is one more form I have to fill out, and then may be I am done with this craziness for a while.

There is no guarantee when my insurance will throw me another curve ball. I am happy this is all behind me, but I know at any moment, my insurance may again require mountains of paperwork and proof of my medical conditions.

I am so tired. I wish there was an easy way.
