And Anthem Blue Cross for the block!

Well, I've joined the legendary ranks of the HMO-denied. They have determined that the ketamine treatment is experimental, so I can't have it under their plan. I'd have thought the simple math (1 ketamine treatment costs about the same as 1 ER visit) would have helped tipped things in my favour but no.

So where do we go from here? I can pay out of pocket under the PPO portion of my health plan, or I can appeal. I haven't thought much about either yet, although the former isn't tempting, what with the lack of a job sitch and all.

I hadn't honestly considered that they'd turn me down, not with all the wrangling it took to get this far.

::bites lip::

Everything has been pointing towards this. The meds juggling was just treading water, as far as my hopes have been concerned, such as they are.

Well, I see the migraine specialist again this coming Monday. That should be fun.
