Animus
My son's Diabetes supplies for his pump come from Animus. They usually send his supplies after I order them promptly but this month we changed insurance.
Here Aaron is with his infusion set site in his tummy.
This is a subcutaneous site to pump insulin into his system 24/7 to live.
The insurance company wants to evaluate his case to see if he needs pump supplies. This irks me to NO END! A doctors order is not enough for these people? Anyway Animus sent us free samples to keep us afloat until they approve the order for a months worth of supplies.
How nice of them.
How irritating for us to have to wait so long.
Why is it that they couldn't have set us up earlier with an approval before when they knew we were coming on as clients to their company in December? No we had to wait until they had us totally on board.
AND between the two services too we were dropped for 1 month. WHAT? I am so ticked by Medical insurance companies. And this is why we need the reform. Because given a choice to do the right thing, they choose the money thing.

Insurance companies are notorious for that underhanded play. I hope all the supplies that you need, come to you very soon.
It seems all insurance companies care about is money. It's just not right.
That is awful. When TD went to the local hospital here several years ago, he was having chest pains, and he is a heart patient. They didn"t want to take the VA Insurance he has through fee services and so they sent him home and told him to call his heart dr. The next day he was admitted to the VA Hospital in Seattle and had a triple bypass. We do not use any of the medical facilities in this area any more period. They are substandard.
