Disability insurance companies are the worse- i need to vent

So my GI said I need to be out of work at least 6 months. So while I was already approved for 2 weeks away from work by the disability company due to my emergency hospitalization, we had to start the lengthy paperwork for the longer term. I started sending info to the case manager, including a listing of every surgery the past 10years and the names of every doctor. I asked for her to call me. I also left two separate voice messages restating the same and asked for a rerturn call. I have yet to hear anything. My initial approved leaves ends on Sunday and according to the insurance company I am suppose to return to work on Monday. On Friday, I got copies of the forms the GI sent in to support the 6months. I placed a call as I noticed that they had not sent in the requested copies of all tests, labs, dr office notes, rx and such. The office called me right back and said they were working on that, but that comes from a different place and they wanted to get the info to the insurance company quickly so I did not have a problem on Monday. But get this, she went on to say that the claims adjuster had already called asking for the same info. But, the adjuster flat out asked if it was truly necessary that I be out of 6 months and why someone with anemia needed so long. She asked the nurse to discuss with the doctor and call her back. Plus, She wanted another letter from the doctor. Really? Like the form he filled out that specifically stated 6 months long with my issues and the number of treatments was not enough. He needs to write it all again. Meanwhile, here I sit with no approval and no return call. Like the adjuster is a doctor. I mean this is crazy and not helping me get better.....

Thanks for letting me vent

I'm sorry you are going through this! But you can't work, and you know that. I suggest that you set aside an hour or two each day to make the calls you need to make and work on the issue. The rest of the time, try to put it out of your mind and take care of yourself the best you can. I know you will get approval eventually. Once you have done everything you can for the day, then change your focus so it doesn't drive you nuts. I hope you get it sorted out soon
