I knew it would happen. We have been getting statement after statement from the hospital and doctor's offices since Damon was born, but with the help of our Lord we have yet to owe a penny out of our own pockets. Well on Friday we received a statement from the company that flew Damon to SLCH the second time saying that they haven't received anything from our insurance company so we needed to contact them to make payment arrangements. At the time of that flight all Damon was covered with was MO Medicaid so I called them today and was informed that since that company is not a provider for Medicaid they were not going to pay for the flight. The lady said that after I got the letter denying the coverage I could request a hearing to dispute the denial. Then today we got a bill from the company that does the billing for Damon's cardio dr. Half the visits on there didn't have any insurance billed on them so I called and gave them the correct info to refile.

Earlier today I was getting so stressed about it and I started doing some calling around (which I hate) to find out everything I can about what went on the night of that second life flight so that if we do have to do a hearing I will be well informed about who's decision it was to use that company. So please just pray that God will work both of these situations out in our favor. This is not small change we are talking about. As they say on those Wendy's commercials; it's about 17,000 crispy chicken sandwiches combined. Makes you want to laugh right? Or cry, I'm not sure. But I think we'll just laugh and keep right on rejoicing over our little miracle baby who is soundly sleeping in his room right now. Talk to you all later.
