Here’s the latest.<\/p>\n
I want an IR1250 from Animas. Why, the carb counter for 500 foods you most often eat is built into the pump. Having to carry around a Palm pilot all the time to do the calculations has gotten to be a pain. So, I want one.<\/p>\n
I’m now on Blue Cross Blue Shield, and I contacted my sales rep, who had me contact someone who is expert on pursuing denials and she told me since I was on a PPO, they had to ship the pump, then get approval and they ate the cost if it was denied. Okay, I can deal with that. Oh, man, can I deal with that, after the HMO thing, of waiting forever for the denial, getting the pump and waiting months for more denial.<\/p>\n
So I sent in all the paperwork, got shifted to a different person than before, which might be a good thing, and get an email that he sent the pre-certification paperwork on Feb 04. I’m like what, I thought they said it didn’t grow through that.<\/p>\n
So I emailed the person I emailed about this first, and said since it had been less than 2 years, it was “inside Animas” and had to be pre-certified, but just because it got pre-certified doesn’t mean they will pay for it.<\/p>\n
Well, now I’m waiting on that — though I don’t think the 1250 is shipping yet. I’d love to have it before we go to Monte Carlo, but that all depends on insurance and when they are shipping.<\/p>\n
The weirdest thing, is though they have issued press releases there is still nothing on the website about the 1250.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
