Remember how the hospital didn’t submit my procedure for approval until one business day before the procedure, and then it couldn’t be approved in time so the procedure had to be canceled and rescheduled, and the earliest available slot was two and a half months later?
Well, it just got worse.

Sep 23, 2026, 2:23 PMThe insurance company denied approval for the procedure. My doctor called them and tried to provide them enough additional information to get them to approve the procedure, but that didn’t work.

Sep 23, 2026, 2:23 PMAt this point I would’ve followed the process to appeal the denial, but before I could do that, without my knowledge or consent the doctor’s office canceled the procedure. So now I’ve lost the already-rescheduled-once slot for the procedure in the hospital’s calendar, and it’s going to have to be rescheduled again, with more delay.
I’ve had it up to here with all these people. Like, does the doctor’s office not understand that insurance denials can be appealed? What the actual fuck? 😠
