BCBS is the money bag!

Yesterday I received a copy of the letter that Dr. Timothy Turvey wrote for Blue Cross Blue Shields to approve payment for 3 surgeries. The entire price tag is 16,200.00. (Lefort I osteotomy in 3 pieces $6,700, bilateral sagittal osteotomies of the mandibular ramus $6,500 and maybe a horizontal osteotomy of the inferior border of the mandible $3,000.) For a little bit there, I cried. Yes, I cried again. Anything relevant to my teeth I cried. I felt SO cheated for not having done these years ago when I was under Medicaid. I know there's no sense in dwelling what I could have done then so all I am asking is an assurance of God's work, answer, strength and guidance because I sure need one right now! I will keep you posted in the coming weeks, as I should hear from my insurance in 3 weeks time.... Thanks so much for your praises and support!
