    It's a 3rd party decision. Doc has 45 days to appeal the latest decision. I'll have another bloodwork by then. After 45 days if the appeal fails then my doc simply resubmits another scan request. Somewhat nuts since this same 3rd party authorized my Zytiga scrip for 2 years at $248!

    Edit......There is a new 3rd party involved with
    medical decisions with my insurance.

    Bummer. I was trying to get a complete physical scheduled but was informed medicare and my BCBS which I pay a lot for does not cover. The Politics of this country is screwing the retirees imo.

    Wishing the best to you Matt... dealing with insurance companies is just ... I just don't see how an insurance company decides what you get. It should be the doctor(s). Insurance company's bit should be just to PAY, and make sure the cost is inline, not way out of wack (like a 10 dollar aspirin). My sister passed away from cancer less than two weeks ago, and she was fighting till the end to get approved by the insurance company for a drug her Dr wanted to prescribe that could have put it in remission. Issue was, it was expensive so insurance dicks around, puts it off and hopes you go away. It's just plain wrong.

    I'm so sorry you lost your sister. I never had issues with my insurance until lately. Something has changed since this past January 20th. Could be just a coincidence. All of a sudden a new 3rd party arbitrator is making decisions with my BCBS insurance. I don't believe in coincidence. I'm just an old man with a pickup truck....trying to make sense of things too.

    Its a shame your insurance company is not as reliable as your pickup truck.

    Keep up the good fight. You will get thru this. We are all pulling for you.

    Thanks! It has nothing to do with my insurance company in this instance. My insurance is great but there is this new 3rd party arbitrator involved now mucking things up.

    Glad you had a great outcome! It's all about a great doc of course. My doc is great but getting shut down now temporarily with the PET scan issue.

    Welp, my latest bloodwork indicated a 2.1 PSA. Went up 0.8 in one month. I meet with my urologist this coming Thursday. Insurance said they would cover the Acumen PET Scan when it hit 2. They better f'ing approve it this time! My doc is getting a bit antsy. We need to find out where the cancer is if it's back. Fun times:thumbsup:

    Had my Telehealth Zoom meeting with my Urologist today. As I figured.....another request for a PET Scan. Most likely will be back on Zytiga with Predisone steroids. Doc thinks if the cancer is back it's in the lymph nodes. Maaaaybeee. It's all about what the PET Scan results are. Popcorn time which sucks!

    A 2 minute CT scan immediately followed by the PET scan which is 28 minutes. Just got the radioactive tracer injection now. Have to chill for 40 minutes then hit the scanner. I'm at Swedish Medical Center. Quite nice actually. On time. Should be done by 8:30 tops.

    I just realized out that my urologist appointment is not until July 22nd. Ha! :homer: I'm going to call to see if that can get moved up or a least schedule a TeleHealth meeting before then.
