'Serenity'
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risque (and frisque), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.
My cat gets occassional bald patches due to allergies. We're not really sure what he's allergic to, but he will also get a bit of a swollen lower lip at the same time.
If it gets really bad, we take him to the vet for a shot but it usually disappears after a few days.
Yesterday I got a notice from my kid's dentist that the work they did on C is not covered by her father's dental insurance, so we owe about $1,300.
There are two issues with this. I had given them the information about his insurance ahead of time and explained the guardianship situation. I thought they had checked to make sure the work would be covered.
Second, I know that her dad should be the one to pay the bill, but I also know he doesn't have the money.

If you gave them this, didn't they certify it ahead of time?? My dentist does this with major work. If they told you it was covered, why the switch?
Good questions Cash - I will be calling them today. I'm still in shock and I really don't have that money.
Went to the pharmacy. They were no help. I'm not oh eternal hold with MassHealth.
{{{vw}}} I'm sorry. I hope this can be fixed easily. Don't beat yourself up too much.
{{{MG}}} The dentist needs to find a way to fix this. They should have checked the insurance first.

Any chance the state could cover it? Mom can get a certain amount money per year for particular needs of foster sis. It's like a grant.
{{{vw}}} We all have days (weeks!) when we avoid the mail. It's sometimes unpleasant being a grownup. I'm very sorry you have to deal with all these insurance troubles -- it seems cruel that we (society) put the people who need help and care through this.
{{{MG}}} I hope calling the office reveals that the doctor is a mensch.
As for me, I have conference calls or meetings today at 9, 11, noon, 2, 2:45 and 4 p.m. Ick.
Hugs for MG, vw, Kristin, Nora, Cass, Deena, and anyone else who wants.
Thanks for reassurance and ideas about Harvey's hair loss. I have seen other signs of allergies, and I will observe more closely to see if he is doing anythin different, by way of sleeping funny. I know he has been sleeping on top or in front of furnace vents, but do not recall any unusual positions.
((MG)) and ((vw)) lots of health/dental insurance-ma.
