Waiting...

And here we are still waiting. Aparently there needs to be a "physician to physician" conversation between our GI dr. and the reveiwing physician from BCBS. They are retrospectively questioning our initial evaluation by Kennedy Krieger even though it was already paid for (by BCBS). That's very frustrating. I also spoke with our contact (Kristen) at Kennedy Krieger to see if she had heard anything different since she had heard more detail than I had last week. Sadly, no, but she did reassure me that Griffin is high on the list and that they want to get him into the program as soon as possible. I told Kristen that I would call her several more times until we are approved just to hear her reassure me about trying to get Griffin in ASAP. It does make me feel better to hear it each time. It also makes me feel better to call insurance each day to hear that they are indeed actively reviewing Griffin's case. Everyone else may get annoyed but if it lights a fire under someone then it's worth it.
