Living Daily with Crohn's Disease
So, I finally broke down and went into the Doctors yesterday. The pain during my cycle and flaring is just more than I can stand. I'm in need of a hysterectomy. Long story short, my uterus is enlarged and I have benign cysts with heavy bleeding. My insurance has decided that this surgery is elective and is opting to cover it, if I have it done at a much lower rate. 50% coverage instead of a $700 deductible, needless to say, the difference is keeping me from being able to get this done. So my doctor checked to see if I am anemic, which I probably am because of the heavy bleeding. I have not heard back about the results yet. A month ago I was very close to being anemic and with the situation I am in, I would think I am. I won't go into my rant about my insurance company today as I don't have the energy and my guess is you can fathom what I am thinking about their decision or lack thereof, lets hope my appeal or new blood work will change their mind.
