bleeping insurance company and ADD — ADD Tip o the day 283

Those of us with ADD or ADHD are probably fortunate if we have a touch of OCD also; it helps to counterbalance the impulsiveness and the difficulty motivating to start or to finish.  But it has its drawbacks too.  We tend to hang on too long (tho this could be part of  ADD too?).

I got screwed by Blue Cross.  They won’t pay for a covered procedure,  lots of unreasonable reasons, and when I finally appealed, they turned it down because I  filed the appeal too late –  they hadn’t sent me the EOB they were supposed to, so I didn’t know what was going on.  But I persisted and persisted  in pursuing this, with righteous indignation, trying to right a wrong and on the principle of the thing (OCD).

I could still protest further, but even if they pay now, which is unlikely, I’ll probably be making 13 cents an hour for the effort I’ve put in.  But it is sure hard to let it go.

So I’m venting to you, which is one of the ways to deal with anger- at least I’m doing something. Thank you for listening.
