I hope the new billing person can work magic. And I also hope that this IUI is <i>the one.</i> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/postponing-treatment#post-1502966 Tue, 18 Mar 2014 20:48:48 +0000 mrswin 1502966@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MrsTal: I am so sorry for what you are going through. I'm glad that the RE is at least trying to help with the billing issue. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/postponing-treatment#post-1502853 Tue, 18 Mar 2014 19:49:45 +0000 FaithFertility 1502853@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>This makes me soooo angry I am so sorry, just know that we are here!!!!! I pray this gets figured out soon, I too pay out of pocket :/ no fun!!! It truly is a stress that should not be apart of IF!!! (HUGS) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/postponing-treatment#post-1501752 Tue, 18 Mar 2014 13:51:57 +0000 MrsTal 1501752@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Thank you all again for your kind words. It definitely helps to have such awesome people to reach out to.</p> <p>There was a new development today. Our billing person with the new RE is trying to change the codes used to get some of our appointments and u/s covered. I'm not holding by breath that it will work but it means the world to me that they are trying. Our old RE flat out refused to change anything. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/postponing-treatment#post-1500347 Tue, 18 Mar 2014 08:48:05 +0000 LindsayInNY 1500347@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>((hugs)) I'm so sorry...

I wish I had some encouraging words. Money/insurance will eventually halt our infertility journey as well, and it really sucks. I can empathize! Sending you hugs!! :heart: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/postponing-treatment#post-1500179 Tue, 18 Mar 2014 07:54:18 +0000 LovelyPlum 1500179@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Sending you love and hugs. I am so sorry that money is the reason that you have to make this decision. If we had required more treatment, it would have been a major factor for us, too. Fingers crossed that this is the lucky IUI for you :heart: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/postponing-treatment#post-1500051 Tue, 18 Mar 2014 06:24:16 +0000 hotchildinthecity 1500051@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We made a similar decision (you can see the post under my name) and while it wasn't exactly financially motivated, we just couldn't take the stress, heartache and pressure on my body any longer. </p> <p>Fingers crossed that this month works out for you! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/postponing-treatment#post-1499940 Mon, 17 Mar 2014 23:06:49 +0000 MrsMccarthy 1499940@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm so sorry.

How frustrating and sad. I wish I could wave the wand and fix it all for you! My RE puts a lot of work into trying to get the laws changed regarding insurance and IF coverage. I will be crossing my fingers extra hard that this IUI is THE ONE for you! Pet your dog (I did a lot of that this morning--good therapy) and know that we're here for you. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/postponing-treatment#post-1498246 Mon, 17 Mar 2014 11:03:22 +0000 Mae 1498246@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I hate your insurance company.

Sending you lots of good thoughts and juju that the appeal will work and you will get at least some of your treatments covered.

I hate that money is a deciding factor in whether or not I have a child. I also hate how insurance works. DH and I were ranting about how a smoker can get lung cancer but get the coverage s/he needs for treatment yet someone with IF can't get assistance. I hate it all so much. It makes me so angry. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/postponing-treatment#post-1498233 Mon, 17 Mar 2014 10:58:43 +0000 littlek 1498233@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MrsTal: I'm so sorry. :( Big hugs :heart: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/postponing-treatment#post-1498231 Mon, 17 Mar 2014 10:58:37 +0000 brownie 1498231@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I hate that money has to be the reason for this. We are re-evaluating our plans based on money because we can't afford 30K for a baby right now and we can't really wait until we can. So I understand where you are at. I have been laying low on here for a number of reasons and two failed cycles is one of them. Good luck and I am so sorry that they won't work with you. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/postponing-treatment#post-1498221 Mon, 17 Mar 2014 10:52:05 +0000 MrsTal 1498221@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>This may be a little long, but here goes. This weekend was hell. I got home Thursday night to a bill from our first RE for an appointment in January. I was fuming because we shouldn't have been charged for it but were (plus clomid=extra ragey). We went online and found all of our stuff from the new RE was also denied but we hadn't seen a bill yet. I was very upset but thought I would hash it out with our insurance Friday morning. I called the insurance and found out that because the IF diagnosis code was used they will no longer cover any of our services, our best bet was to talk to our doctor to see if we could get it changed or to appeal it but she warned me they had already appealed on our behalf and it was denied. I called the first RE's office and they were sympathetic but couldn't understand why it was denied with the use of that code and they wouldn't get it changed. So we are starting the appeal process but I don't have much hope. We decided that we can't really afford to pay for treatments out of pocket without at least some of it being covered so we are done for the time being (after this cycle, it seems stupid to spend so much money and go through half a cycle and not complete it). I was and am crushed, I spent the majority of the weekend in a crying/depressed funk . It feels like we will never be parents. At the same time I feel a bit relieved. I am so tired of fighting for this. I want a child but I don't want all this pain and heartache. I may not be around for a while if this IUI doesn't work because it just might be too hard. </p>
