I'm sorry, I didn't pick up that you have to pay the insurance. Sometimes I get med head.

My guess is with insurance you're going to have to just insist on a payment plan and be as forceful as you can be about the terms. Make sure you get the terms in writing on their stationery.

Insurance companies are required to have multiple levels off appeals. You could try to go through that process and fight to have the amount covered. I have no idea if it would work though since most appeals are about getting treatment approved before starting.

You've really had quite a week. I hope you get a break soon. How is the kitty prozac going? I had a very old cat (21 when she died) and as she got dementia she was on an anxiety med (amitrypline -Elavil) ffor year or two until she wasn't anxious all the time anymore. It really helped her. Cuddle your boy(?) and I hope that helps you feel better. Both my cats think I am here to serve as a large heating pad.
