The Paperwork trail

I have had to dig into my paperwork surrounding my treatments with focused due diligence. I am amazed how extensive that process is. Almost overwhelming to keep it all together, following up on the disconnects between the doctors and insurance agent for my disability, pursue doctor's bills, my insurance company to find out why some things were denied. It took me 3 months to coordinate between the doctor's and an insurance nurse to finally end up with a denial for a particular treatment, because it was experimental in the insurance companies eyes. This all is the seedy underbelly of having a chronic medical condition. Simply yuky....and at times angering and nerve raking.
