I took on a ppo because it supported mental health coverage. Ive been told by my T and pdoc that the insurance said I have met my cap for the year.

I dont know what I am going to do the rest of the year. this sucks. I almost want to go off of meds - so depressed.

Cthomas - sorry to hear about your predicament. Hitting that cap is something I have been very fearful of lately. Not sure going off meds would help with the depression though. Sorry I can't be more helpful, but you are right, that situation sucks.

CThomas, will your pdoc and T work with you to help? Can this be appealed?

So understandable that you are feeling depressed. Not a good time to go off your meds though.

Hey Cthomas...

So sorry to hear that this is happening right now..but considering what else has been going on lately...I'm really worried about you.

There are so many resources in the Chicogoland area..I really hope you will reach out and seek hard for some further assistance and go back to your insurance company, agent and pdoc for assistance in trying to further your coverage if that is a possibility at all. Sometimes a good pdoc can get the ball rolling there as well as a good agent. Please fight hard for yourself and what you need. You are sooo worth it.

Hang in there, guy...my thoughts are with you...please stay safe.
We need you around here.

Thanks for all the replies guys.....

Im just in a funk now. paying out of pocket will be way too much for my budget.

my husband keeps telling me if I need it I need it, just go and well figure it out. thank god for him.

Hi Colleen,

I am so terribly sorry for thinking you were a dude!! I saw the thomas and assumed which as usual makes an ***** out of me, or just me in this case! lol Please forgive me..

My caring does not change nor my concern...and I hope that especially since your h says that it is a need and not a want, that you will continue to go in whatever capacity you can and to reach out however you can for continued support from whatever resources you can muster...you are definitely worth every bit of it. Hang in there and let me know how you are..feel free to PM if you'd like.

Warmest thoughts and loving huggles for a very special bear,

Wysteria Blue

LOL...about the dude part. were all good. its an understandable mistake!!!! no worries

Im hoping my insurance eventually stops fighting with pdoc and t and pays them. this would make for a very uncomfortable circumstance until next year. Thanks for the well wishes. Just feel off and on in a funk about it. and the meds change isnt helping.

well keep my head up right now.....
