On Friday the provider (Clinic 4 Kidz) submitted all the paperwork to Blue Shield (BSC) and we told them this needed to be expedited. Since Monday was a Holiday, the clinic called in today to check on the status. Welp, lovely BSC now tells us that in order for this request to be expedited we need to fill out more paperwork.. UGH! Why they didn't tell us this on Friday, beats me...but they at least earned an earful from me... ;) So the Clinic has now submitted the expedited request paperwork and BSC has 72 hours to give us an answer if they will be pre-approving our request for coverage into the clinic.
I'm not digging the 72 hours, we don't have any time to waste, so I've been sending emails and calling people for the last few hours! I have first hand contact with some high up people at BSC thanks to my employee's insurance Broker (so awesome!), so I told them this needs to be done yesterday, but I'll give them 24 hours! Let's see if they comply... hey it won't hurt to ask right!?
On the Clinic side of things... the doctor was not able to get us into the families spot that was scheduled for this coming week, but the good news is Dr. Patel is still fighting for us and is trying to get one of the clinic case managers to rearrange their schedules so they can come see Abby. We will see Abby's GI doctor on Monday, June 10 for a weight check and to make decisions as to what's next. The GI wants to see Abby beginning a feeding therapy program by then, else the feeding tube will become a necessity. As of right now, Abby has gained no weight in the past 2 weeks. It looks like Abby was starting to eat better, but this has been back and forth, no consistent improvement quite yet.
Please continue to pray, first and foremost that Abby would begin to improve her eating and begin to gain weight and nourishment! And we ask that you pray that if it's God's will, that Abby will be able to get squeezed into the clinic, some way some how - hey we serve a mighty God - nothings too hard for Him!
And to leave you with a happy note - Abby has started taking her first steps!!! Here's a little video from earlier today! YAY!
