Insurance?

[doglover28]

Hi,
Do most insureres cover treatment for Hep?  The thought hit me yesterday.  Here I go worrying again.  That should be my middle name.

Your right fishy , We're all so busy , school will be lettin out soon , so the girls are countin down the days this mornin . Dang shot isn't as bad as last week but I dern well know it's there , took the riba at 930 this mornin and it is always workin seems . Just got in from yard work ,tryin to get caught up on the chores ya know . How bout ya fish , whats on yur plate for  the day?

Good mornin fish's , yes doc it's 5.30 here and I been up for an hour , the best part of the day . Since hard coon dog trainin is out the window right now , I'm thinkin of gettin the rods out , slap the girls around a little , get em in fishin mode , and hittin the locks on the river for small mouths and walleye . It would give us some time together , wouldn't hurt em to get away from schoolwork and video games fer awhile .

          A couple good lakes on top of the mnt. host northen pike with good largemouth bass populations and don't forget the big bluegills a body could fish for when boredom over takes the girls when the bigger game fish ain't biten .

Tell yourself dogs, like fish, will wait.  Thats why I went for pigeons, low maintenance, don't get hyper when they don't get worked... but I absolutely can't imagine saddling up my horse and heading out for a long ride....I tell the hubby they are "pasture ornaments", just appreciate how pretty they are...

as for old friends, I think they hate asking as much as we hate telling them how we feel.... I watch caller ID, and just don't answer my phone much....

I am feeling pretty chicken sh!t, self centered, spoiled little whiny baby these days..so I know they don't want to talk to her!!  I'll just annoy all my internet friends instead!!!  They can't talk about me, cause they don't know who to talk to!!!

It's not cancellation of the insurance but discontinued approval of the meds at 12 weeks. See the insurance would only approve the meds for the 1st 12 weeks of tx . If I get undetable or a 2 log drop the insurance will approve another 12 weeks of meds .That will carry me to 24 weeks , then If I'm still clear the insurance will approve anther 12 weeks of meds .

              You have to prove to the insurance co every 12 weeks the tx is working before they will approve it anther 12 weeks . If I follow the 12 week pcr   trough schedule my shot 13 would get delayed due to waiting on approval . This is cause of the pcr take about 10 days to come back . On the 12th week trough day pcr , I would never have my shot the following week , it would take longer for the pcr results to come back then that.  Then faxing them to the insurance , the next approval process would dirupt the meds schedule .

         So if I get the pcr done at 11 weeks I'll keep the meds on schedule .

Since your insurance is like that. My thoughts would be take the test the day after your shot and don't get a real sensitive pcr test. Plus check in to commitment to care for free meds and same as for procrit. Don't know how high your income is, but they consider family members in your house. Plus they have high incomes limits. Just my thinking so you know what thats worth.
