Hello, my dear Friends, My insurance promiced that they would pay for a care center after my 4 day hospital stay, of course, they are already trying to get out of it. My replaced knee in on the same side as my damaged pelvic nerves. Participating it the PT excerizes, has terribly exacerbated my damaged nerves. I have not had a flare up like this in years. I reallly need to participate in this specialized orthopedic care facility but Great-west/Signa thinks them have grounds to deny something they PROMISED me a only few weeks ago! Also, any ideas On fighting the evil empire Called insurances claims ineligibility, please write to me personally as well.
dear friends, I would also humble like to request a favor from you--- I need a prayer request. My mother taught my to make Christ my first ressorce and not my last resort. Anyway, I believe in prayer, in any form and to any source. I believe it can help and I believe YOU can help. I humbly ask that you will add me to your prayers tonight and tomorrow. I am still in the hospital and my insurance is trying to deny me services that they promised me I would get, but they are already reneging on their deal. Also, i am in horrible pain due to the knee replacement PT/damaged nerve crossover. I am hoping some of you might add my name to yours prayers and/or meditations. My real name is Holly Hoit. May God Bless you and keep you. My God Bless and keep you. Harmony

Dearest Harmony,
I most certainly will keep you in my prayers for He is the Great Healer. May I make a suggestion? Believe it or not, insurance companies have customer claims advocates. Ask your insurance company for one. That way you will have a case manager to help you through this mess and you'll only have that one person to deal with instead of a new person everytime you call. Worth a try?
Glad you are through the surgery and hope that you are feeling better soon.

Hi dear Harmony... glad to hear from you and glad to know the knee surgery is behind you although you are in terrible pain. Just the knee surgery itself is terribly painful, but add the pelvic nerve pain... you poor dear. And I am sure that worrying about your insurance company denying the therapy facility is adding to the degree of pain. Take the pain meds on time around the clock and in between pain pill doses take 400mg of ibuprofen. This really helps.
Holly, I will remember you in my prayers this morning and every day. I know the Lord will come thrrough for you. I can't believe the insurance company is now tryring to deny you. It is well known that the therapy after the knee replacement is the number one thing that makes the surgery successful after of course the surgeon does his thing in replacing the new joint correctly without complications. Knee replacement surgery is one of the most painful surgerys there is... so try to do the regimen I recommended.
Expand this post...
Try to not worry so much. This makes your pain worse. Perhaps trying to talk to someone else at your insurance company. Also, what about the agent who sold you the policy... can he/she help push this through. Do you have anything in writing where the insurance company has stated they will pay for the rehab facility!!! Just trying to think here??? Have you spoken with a supervisor at the insurance company? Sometimes this helps. Is there anyone to help you fight this so you can concentrate on resting and getting better. One more thing... what about the insurance staff at the hospital... they might also be able to help push through the transition,
Please try to concentrate on resting and healing. Your body doesn't need all this worry and angst... toxic chemicals are released with angst and worry. I will remember you in my prayers. Things have a way of working out through the power of prayer. Love, pup

Hello, my friend. I read your post and it brought tears to my eyes. I looked at my son, who is alive, and sharp as a tack, and I know it was because of our Lord, and all the people's prayer for him when I was pregnant. He is our miracle. I will share that with you another time. But, absolutely... Yes, I will pray for you and your body. I will pray right now that your pain level will drop and stay dropped. I've beed there. In a hospital crying and hurting, and having a complete stranger pray for me. It's kinda sad Holly, that we live in a world where allot of people don't pray very much. But I'm not asamed of it. And when I tell you I'm going to pray for you girl... I'm gonna pray for you!! I won't have to put it on a list. I will remember your name. You have a pretty name. And you said you believed We could help you too. Your right on that one too gir. There's allot of good people here. Allot. I have made a few great friends. And I don't know what I would do without them. I have went to them and asked them to pray for me before too. And they did. There is power in prayer. I hate that you are going through this, but you have yourself just a tiny bit of faith and hope, and your going to be allright Hope. And we are here for you girl. We will be here for you all the steps of the way. If you need me for anything, and I mean anything, you just pq me. I think your one of my friends. I'll be here for you sweetie. And I'll be praying that God heals you and get to get out of the hospital really soon. And remember... there are others here that you will be hearing from too gir. Wipe the tears from your eyes, and know that you are loved. Not only from your regular family, but your DC family too. We will love you too Holly. Good luck to you, my friend, and God Bless. Ruth

Consider your prayer request fulfilled, will be glad to, Holly! Talk to the hospitals social worker. She/he should be able to help you. If you live alone and are unsafe to go home they CANNOT legally send you home with no help! Laurie had a wonderful suggestion. You should have access to a case manager or member advocate-call your insurance company. There is also an appeal process if they deny you-you might try talking to your appeal/grievences dept at your insurance company. The social worker at the hospital should be able to help you with this or if there is a Case Manager/Case worker at the hospital-either one should help you with this process but if you will be unsafe at home they CANNOT let you go there legally. If there was a fire and you cant move to get out then you are unsafe! I cant see why they wont pay for a SNF PT program! Most insurances do this all the time. Talk to the PT's there at the hospital-they should be able to determine how well you move and if you are safe enough to go home. Good Luck and you are already prayed for dear!

Hi Hrmnee (Holly) - I'm so sorry for your troubles & pain, but you've been added to my list of virulent prayers! Just FYI, insurance companies, will definitely deny everyone the first time around for something like this. You must not take no for an answer. Its just the routine that they go through to eliminate those that will not fight for their insurance coverage... its like the first round eliminates a certain %, and then they gear up for the 2nd round! Honestly, I have a relative in Blue Cross who told me it is routine! So, continue to fight (unfortunately cuz its not fun!). I fought the ins. company about something else and received more than I asked for, so keep the faith!! Amen! Jillian
