Acupuncture and Insurers

I had acupuncture on my shoulder this week. I've had it before with no issue, but this week I seem to have some problems. The pain is shooting from my shoulder and up the right side of my neck into my head. I s'pose I'll tell the Physio.

Had a harrowing neuropsychology session this week too. I think I need to talk to my Psych about increasing my visits for a short while. The next is our last approved session, so I'll tackle it then.

As usual this week my insurer was patronising, wasted their money and mine, along with lots of my time. They sent an Occupational Therapist home to evaluate approval for my injuries. She certified me for various services until December, but because my GP only authorised the services until October 20, I had to get new authorisations. They wasted the doctors time, my time, the Occupational Therapist's time as well as all the $ everyone's spent on both the therapist and the GP. To make matters worse, they approved everything and sent me 3 pieces of paperwork that are contradictory, Two of them are wrong. Now I have to ring the insurer, be patronised again and find out which bit of paper is correct because God help me if I base services on the wrong little piece of paper.

Stress is apparently among my health issues post accident. My insurer exacerbates that no end. I am developing a new neurosis. I wonder if they factor themselves into the issues I now face?

I am the new piece-of-paper Queen. I am a champion paperwork clerk now. Maybe the insurer should hire me instead of the mental giants I usually deal with on the phone. *sigh*
