No Shot For You

I have been having the best two weeks I have had since cancer. I feel great. In fact, I don't even feel like I have cancer. All this is because after chemo I get a shot of Neulasta. This stimulates the bone marrow to produce white blood cells. As a result of this shot, all my blood levels are normal - hence my feeling great. Imagine my dismay and anger when I received a letter from my medicad provider that they were denying my shot for my next chemo. The reason? My blood levels are normal. OF COURSE THEY ARE YOU IDIOTS THE SHOT WORKS.
Let me digress. When I enrolled in Medicad I was told I had to choose a managed plan. I checked with my cancer killers and chose the one they accept. I did not know that I had the choice to remain on regular or fee for services medicad. So I am stuck with Select Health/AmeriHealth Mercy for November. I am switching back to the regular plan next month. Unfortunately this does not help with my shot this month. So, if you find yourself in my situation, under no circumstances choose Select Health/AmeriHealth Mercy. They are the worse. I love that they have mercy in their name. What mercy? And I thought cancer sucked. I have prayed about this and have faith that God will keep me healthy or provide another source to pay for my shot. The shot costs $3,000.00 and if I had $3,000.00 I would not need medicad. I sure can't count on that wonderful (note the sarcasm) Select Health to provide for me.
So, in conclusion, if you find yourself with cancer and on medicad, stay on the fee for services plan.
