Home Surgical Kits (Coming to an HMO Near You Soon)
HELLO GENTLE READERS,
I've had some health issues over the past four years (wanna' see my scars?). I've had cancer, a heart attack, a small stroke and have Congestive Heart Failure. Negotiating through the maze of my Medicare HMO's rules and regulations is worse the the Chemotherapy was! At least the "Chemo" had a finite number of sessions.
I think there are three people in the world that understand what is or is not covered and, they're sworn to secrecy under the "Patriot Act". All the other employees must be recruited from McD's.
Even my doctors and pharmacy stay confused. With my recent stroke I had to learn to self-inject blood thinners (in the belly, no less...brrrrr!). My Pacemaker (the cost of a well appointed Corvette) was approved immediately. My injectables were barely covered. I think "approval" is based upon whether or not the "approver" is experiencing PMS or Male Menopause on any given day!
What's next? Home Surgical Kits?
