Baha insurance denial

[Jim Scott]

@ James E--what does your comment mean?

I realize your question was directed to james e. and James can and will speak for himself of course but I assumed his use of the phrase "squeaky wheel" was simply an abbreviated version of the metaphor "the squeaky wheel gets the grease" - meaning that if you keep asking, you'll eventually get what you want.  In your case, insurance company approval for your BAHA.  Again, congratulations!

James is right.  The squeaky wheel gets the grease!

Insurance companies hope that by giving insureds a hard time it will discourage them from pursuing a coverage request.

The more people who withdraw their request, the more money the insurance company gets to keep in it's pocket.

Congrats, Kixit!!

Thanks peeps! I got the "official" letter on Monday (7/2) that my appeal was approved. Me being the one to look ahead,  called Anthem today to double check. I wanted to make sure the processor WAS included in the approval and it was. I want no surprises going into this--I have to sign a standard waiver> if the insurance doesn't pay I have to.

I was very greatful to the person on the phone. She was the one that actually reviewed my case. I told her what it meant to me to being approved to receive the Baha. I must have thanked her 50 times!

I can't wait to "hea"r from both sides again
