Carrie told me that the insurance company forwarded Keith's paperwork to a doctor for review. This doctor then lets the insurance company know if they should approve the transplant. Well, the insurance company sent it to the wrong doctor, they sent it to an allergist. When they received the review back from the allergist is when they noticed it was sent to the wrong doctor. But Carrie said, they have sent it on again, to the right doctor this time.
Friday, August 7, we were packing and heading up for a week long vacation at a cottage in Howard City. The case nurse called at about 10 am and said, "we received the review back and it is not favorable. The doctor said the transplant is experimental, investigational, and not medically necessary." Carrie said she already talked to Dr. Burt's office and they want to appeal. Dr. Burt would like to talk directly to the doctor who did the review. I felt totally defeated, but thank goodness Dr. Burt is willing to talk to that doctor to see if he can get the insurance to approve the transplant.
The news had taken all the fun out of our up-coming vacation plans. But then I remembered my devotions from that week. To praise God in all things, big or small, good or bad. Praise Him! Concentrate on His goodness instead of your pain.
God help us to rest in You and wait patiently for Your timing is perfect. Help us to let go of trying to do this on our own and trust You for Your plan is better than we can ask or imagine! -Amen
