Yet Another Disappointment

Well I was all set to get my kidney biopsy. I thought I had everything taken care of, appointment made - check, pre-authorization submitted - check, arrange for my mom to stay with me - check, found something for my friend from Prague to do - check and pack for the hospital - check.

Well my mom flew in when we flew back from Vegas, I stopped eating and drinking after midnight. My nephrologist nurse called to let me know they were still waiting on the approval. I had a procedure at this hospital at the end of May, so what's the problem? But she did say not to cancel and she would call me at 7:30am and my procedure was at 8:30am. 7:30 came and no approval yet.

So I spent all day on the phone with my nurse, the insurance company and the hospital. Hopefully the insurance go through and I can be put on hold for tomorrow and the last appointment is 1:30pm. Cross your fingers. I just spend $350 to get my mom here for all three procedures (kidney biopsy, colonoscopy and endoscopy) and I will be pissed if one of them fall through.

Usually my insurance is on top of it, but I know the holiday messed me up. We'll have a go at it tomorrow......
