I do think it is important that you address this with your T and it is curious as to his behaviour particularly if he also knows your insurance is changing.

I have to say that I have gone through times that my insurance had decided not to cover...(over the years) for reasons that currently escape me. My T was willing to let me keep going...as I REALLY needed to and racked up a thousand or so in charges. I did pay those off in time. I think there is sometimes a fine line of what a person can afford but that should be something to discuss and not assumed. And... from what you told me.. you will have coverage.

That being said, you apparently have concern and you might as well address it point blank.

I hate the idea of a graduation date. Who came up with that term... (hope not you... :-) ) I just think that I would feel clipped with that happening... and it has happened to me before so that helplessness feeling and anger, frustration, etc.. is one I can relate to.

I even had a time that my pdoc told my insurance company that all of this hubbub was indeed affecting MY progress. I understand.

I would guess that he is as frustrated as you are...I think...at least as your advocate he is probably feeling a little ticked and emasculated by this crapola.

Work with your T, advocate for yourself and express how you are feeling. Try to go in assertively rather than aggressively ... though you can express your aggressive, etc... myriad of emotions over this.

You have reason justly to feel all that you are feeling.

I think you also have a right to ask questions of your future insurance though benefits can change... what are the limitations, is your T par, are auths needed, are the visits and monies limited and howso?

Hang in there. Keep talking to us.
