Psychological Drops and Insurance Bureaucracy

My mood, motivation, and energy levels have dipped recently. 😔

My insurance company (United Healthcare) has denied my pre-authorization application three times now, despite my plan explicitly stating it covers it, so now I’m jumping through hoops with my HR department to take next steps.

I still have agency in the situation, but it’s tiresome. Especially after having my doctor reach out to them directly to confirm what I need isn’t fucking cosmetic and that I don’t have to go all-or-nothing into becoming a trans woman to benefit from care they also get.

I now have four different people all lobbying on my behalf for this, which I appreciate deeply, but it’s sad infuriating how many people’s time and effort have to be spent to get a company I give thousands of dollars per year to cover a one-time procedure that will drastically improve my life forever.

Yay American healthcare. 🙄

So anyway, sorry if I’m more antisocial than usual. I’ve been declining invitations nonstop but I still appreciate receiving them. Hopefully I’ll have more yeses in me again soon. 💖
