Since early this month, I've had high hopes for the sleep study my new doctor recommended. She believes sleep apnea could be the culprit behind my ongoing fatigue. I'm so tired of being tired, so tired of dozing off easily during TV shows and movies or with a magazine on my chest.
So you can imagine my disappointment when I was told today that my insurance company refused to pay for the study in a clinic.
I heard from my doctor's office that they are resubmitting, with the request for an "at home" study. Those are less expensive and more likely to be approved, I'm told.
I just hate that I have to wait even longer to get the answers to my problems!
These are the thoughts and observations of me — a woman of a certain age. (Oh, my, God, I'm 65!) I'm single. I'm successful enough (independent, self supporting). I live just outside Chicago, the best city in the world. I'm an aunt and a friend. I feel that voices like mine are rather underrepresented online or in print. So here I am. If my musings resonate with you, please visit my blog again sometime.
I hope you can get it worked out. Our insurance paid for the studies, but wouldn't pay for the equipment rental to treat the sleep apnea after it was diagnosed. How stupid is that??
