Met with the doc and Boston Rep today (exactly 3 weeks after the surgery) and we deflated and inflated a few times. I say "we" as my Boston rep is a really funny lady and she had ZERO issue demonstrating how it worked on me - which was fine. At this point, only about 5 people on the planet...

Thanks! The PD is pretty good now. I've always had a lean to about 11pm, so that is the same, but the PD "kink" is gone. Doc did some manual modelling since the plaque was apparently not bad enough to warrant going after it. Still dorking around with placement and getting nowhere other tha...

Day 18 Update: No real pain since surgery, mostly just some discomfort as the new neighbor tends to piss off the left tenant mostly. I've been able to move the pump around just enough to make it reasonable. I did have an issue around Day 8 where the infighting was bad enough I took a day to lay flat...

Long time since my original posting. I've changed jobs 2 times now since originally posting this. Last company didn't discriminate, just didn't cover it, and was so old school that they didn't want to either. The job wasn't worth staying with and I've gotten a fantastic new job that I love.

The circle-jerk continues. Cigna denies, my company tells me to go thru Cigna. Cigna denies, HR says they can't do anything... This just hit my inbox from HR today: This letter responds to your request for a written response related to the denial of your claim for certain medical services. XYZ Inc. ...

So, here's the official HR response: We appreciate your patience while we investigated your inquiry. We performed a thorough review of both the plan document and the HDHP summary plan description and confirmed that the requested procedure is specifically listed as an exclusion by the plan. We are ob...

Well, I am talking to the nice folks at Boston Medical, and will reach back out to the Dr. for the specific codes they used. However, I don't hold much hope for that. I do have a contact in HR that is looking at some things for me. They are currently investigating internally with our partners and ho...
