OMG, Holy Cross is not covered and now i cannot get chemo treatment.  I am so fucked! Because of insurance,  self pay was $1104 per treatment.  Now they are talking 10,000, 20,000 or more for one treatment and it would cost me more than without insurance.  OMG.  I am so screwed!  Am I going to have to cancel the insurance I prayed and prayed for?
I am not convinced that I would be better off without insurance and the public county hospitals are in the network so I will to ahead and leave Holy Cross, probably to go to North Broward General.  There the insurance will pay 80% of the cost.  Also, Moffitt is in the network.

    I am waiting to hear my chemo appointment is authorized at Holy Cross and get my new time. I think it was a total mistake. Just to prove to me how terrible I handle stressful situations. My first impulse is to lose all hope. I need to get over that character flaw.

    Moffat has a local facility in Deerfield beach. If hch denies, then see if Broward general is on or any Broward health. North Broward is fine too. Remember Moffat is controlling the chemo anyway.

    Hi Jeanni, Sorry to hear you are having this trouble with in network/out of network hassels. Unfortunately, it's one of the realities of medical insurance in this country. If we only had a universal, one payer system, this wouldn't happen! But don't dispair, you'll get your treatment. It may be at a different facility, but they will be just as good to you. The peopls who work in oncology areas tend to be very supportive and helpful. It's just the administrators that get in the way. Keep the faith!

    If ever I felt like its up to God and out of my control its at times like these. So I will try to exercise, relax and play and run the bridge club. Oh, and pray. Thanks friends.
