Disability Blahs

Oh my. This is going to be a bit of venting. I really can't believe that my former employer has screwed things up this badly. My insurance has been cancelled sometime in December. I thought that it was just because of the new year. Changing to 2011, maybe they didn't carry things over. Amusingly enough, I did get new insurance cards. Think I better change my stock options. If they can't get insurance coverage right, the rest is sure to head downhill as well.

It is just lovely that my former employer has terminated my insurance once again without telling me. Really wonderful considering that each treatment that I do is $15,000. And that's every 3 weeks. Maybe there is a reason that I am consistently "accidentally" terminated. Maybe they really do just want to get rid of me. I am an expensive liability. I wonder if there is anything in Obama's bill about that? Not sure I can read that huge tome of health insurance policy, but it would appear that it would be in my benefit.

It's awful to have your insurance pulled out from underneath you. It just makes me want to scream! No wonder people go postal. Benefits are those things that you assume will be there. I did my work while I was at the company. I didn't think that I would use these benefits. Apparently my employer didn't think anyone would either. Otherwise it wouldn't be such a cluster, and my new full time job would not be to monitor them.

Aaaaargh!!!!!

Disability Continues....

I actually started to create an excel document to track my progress with all of the different companies that I was contacting.  After a while, I also added comments like "does not look legit", "not a current number", and "broken links-can't contact".  I think that this might be an area where the government could save some money. What a mess...

I did get a call back from ONE company. I had a very enlightening conversation with a lovely lady named Pam.  According to her, "Maximus is working on the problem [of the legitimate companies]." I hope so!  After the conversation with her, I am going to set up a meeting with Social Security.  I read all the documentation on the Maximus website - even took the mini tests during the training and got a 100%.  Even so, Pam and I have different comprehension of how the Ticket to Work program works.  Since this is her job. I am guessing that she is right.  But I think I need to talk to Social Security as they are the one that holds the contract with Maximus. And ultimately, I personally answer to Social Security.

Just a preview for the next couple of posts - I'll be chatting about nutrition, and Avastin.
