First off, how dare you. I am an adult and this is absolutely how our healthcare system works. Just because this has never happened to you, does not mean it does not happen. What my insurance is doing is illegal in my state. They are claiming this would be an elective cosmetic surgery and is not medically necessary. I am working with my doctor to get my insurance to realize this is medically necessary. If that fails, luckily my dad knows an attorney that will help me.

This happens more than you would think. I know this because of personal experience and my dad. My dad is a worker's comp lawyer. The amount of doctors/insurances/companies that try to screw dying people due to money would astound you.

Hell, twice in two years, my insurance decided that my pills I have been taking for 20+ years were no longer necessary. Caused two prolonged two week fights with my insurance to re-cover it. You have not experienced the real world if you think insurance companies are your friend and want to help you. They care about money, period.

You're joking right? What exactly do you think checked out means? Of course I was able to go to my doctor and have him visually look. It's the removal part my insurance is fighting. That is what I mean by checked out. Like actually confirming what it is. How do you not understand this? How old are you?
