Can't take anymore as now medicaire is even denying the urinalysis and cholesterol they did for the ob-gyn exam after three years of none. Reason there was couldn't pee as cystocele, rectocele, the docs say surgery if they deny that can't take it anymore. And if your retaining urine it sets you up for a urinary infection so how is it not necessary. My nerves can't take anymore and the estrogen cream vaginally to streghten tissues for surgery will probably be denied to . Have samples now. What to do I can't take anymore. Nothing goes right. No med, no bodywise. Phillipa

The denial of the UA was obviously a mistake, find out why it was denied and the cholestrol too unless they only allow it 1x a year or something stupid like that. They both seem like they were rejected in error. There must be a 800# you call to appeal a denial, right? I'm sure this happens all the time.
Medicare is running out of money faster than than they can replace it. All the Iraq war money is going right out the door (something like $60 million a month) and all the social programs in this country are going right down the toilet. It's only getting worse every day until this war ends.
APPEAL the denials...sg

Sorry to interrupt again, but I'd like to redirect follow-ups regarding Medicare running out of money to Psycho-Babble Politics. Here's a link:

(((((Phillipa)))))
i'm so sorry that this is happening- it's so unfair, so upsetting that Medicare does things like that. i hope that you hear soon and that they cover the tests and prescriptions.Their insurance costs so much too- they shouldnt give people such a difficult time when they're sick and need help.
Take care,
kerria
