Insurance Frustrations

I have spent a lot of time and energy making sure that my insurances transferred over and now it turns out that something didn't go so well with cobra and I am currently inactive on my health insurance. Not exactly something that someone in my situation wants to hear. I had chemo on Tuesday and had to bring all of my cobra papers to prove that I am in fact covered right now. Thankfully my cancer center gave me treatment. They didn't have to and it could have really screwed up my chemo schedule especially since I just came off of a two week break. I can feel my lungs becoming more restricted and I was really looking forward to getting chemo. They also went ahead and approved my white blood cell booster shot that will keep me well and out of the hospital. The downside is that there is no convincing the pharmacy that I really do have insurance and so my two refills and two new prescriptions are sitting unfilled. I was really looking forward to the two new medications that will help with two side effects that have been very irritating since October! The other two medications are pain pills and I absolutely will not be able to function without them. My insurance broker has offered to buy them tomorrow if my insurance is not fixed by then since I will run out tomorrow evening. This gesture reminds me of why I love working with the groups I have worked with for almost 20 years. I love these people, I have built relationships with them and I know they are working hard to make things right. I couldn't let him buy it today in case it works out by tomorrow, but by tomorrow when I am out of pain medication I will have no problem accepting help to get the medications I need. I just wish it would have worked right the first time.
