#Botox

0 posts0 participants0 posts today

Edited because I was able to find my old PA for the meds and it actually did expire. But the botox is approved until the fall and they aren’t paying these bills. I sent a message to the Billing department asking them if I should appeal this or if there’s anything I can do to help them get paid because I can’t pay it lol

Medicare approved botox for migraines last year. I had my 1st round in December and my 2nd in Feb. They paid nothing yet. $10,000 in medical bills unpaid.

They also gave me a prior auth for Nurtec until some time this summer. I just tried to refill it so if they don’t do the prior auth again at least I have some.

The pharmacy says “waiting for insurance approval”.

WTF IS HAPPENING?!? I sort of expected Dr. Oz’s Medicare to stop paying for stuff, but whoever was pushing the buttons to issue the payments in December/January must’ve been a MAGAt because it seems like before the transition even happened they decided not to pay for this procedure they gave a prior authorization for.

Is this just happening to me or is anyone else seeing medical bills going unpaid by Medicare?

Is anyone else seeing Medicare not pay for prior auth stuff now?

Last year #medicare approved #Botox for #migraines after two hospital admissions where they were billed about $25,000 each.

I guess they figured preventative measures at $5000 a pop would be better than $50,000 in a summer. I had this procedure 20 years ago and after the third round of shots it lasted almost a year and it was amazing.

This time my first round was in December, my second round was in February, I was supposed to get the third set in April but they kept postponing it. I assumed it was a staffing problem. Then I looked at my EOB.

Medicare had paid them NOTHING. I am shocked & I think they are too.

I get financial aid at this hospital so regardless I don’t have to pay, but I also don’t want the Hospital system I appreciate and depend on getting ripped off for $10,000 worth of bills.

I would be freaking out right now if I had this procedure at pain management because that would mean I would be shut off from pain management if I was unable to pay this $10,000.

Maybe it’s just me, but please be warned. It doesn’t seem like having a prior authorization matters much anymore. If you qualify for Hospital financial aid please apply now before they stop giving it out.

I don’t know what to do about this but I canceled my next appointment. They keep moving it anyway I assume they want to make sure they’re going to get paid before they do it again. I don’t even think it’s helping anyway. These are menstrual related migraines not tension headaches triggering migraines.

I sent them a message and I asked them if I should be appealing this before it’s too late. I think I only get 120 days to appeal. Concord Hospital Nurology is so awful I’ll never go there again but I still don’t want them getting ripped off.

Ronja Salmen kolumni: Pistoshoidot ovat yhteinen asia, ja niitä on säänneltävä

Hokema siitä, että esteettiset hoidot ovat yksilön oma asia, kääntyy myös hoitoja ottavia vastaan. Ala tarvitsee nopeasti sääntelyä, kirjoittaa Salmi.

Botulinum toxin A1, better known under the brand name #Botox, is not only a popular cosmetic agent, but also a highly effective #bacterial #neurotoxin that – when carefully dosed – can be used as a drug. It blocks the transmission of signals from nerves to muscles

HOLY CRAP.

Lying Botox Receptacle Zuckerberg has informed the government in Brazil that facebook and "threads" and the rest of meta's companies will only tell lies, spread shit, smear filth in the United States.

Meta will hire people to remove feces, racism, threats in the rest of the world.

Bathing in Zuckerberg's curated diarrhea is a purely American feature

They only hate Americans.
