My husband and I came home today to receive a letter from the Department of Insurance that stated that the services related to my cesarean section are not covered under the terms of my policy. The Department of Insurance found that the services I received were “not related to a complication of pregnancy as determined by BCBSAZ.” So our next step is to request a hearing with the Office of Administrative Hearings. We have 30 days to request a hearing and the office then must notify us of the hearing date at least 30 days prior to the scheduled hearing.
This is of course not what we had hoped for, but we’re going to press on. In addition to the more than 30 letters I have already sent to my local and state representatives I will now also be writing to Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi and First Lady Michelle Obama. I’m thinking for good measure I should also write to Oprah.
