I remember many days like that. All day or all night surveillance, followed by arrests and seizures which meant that people and property had to be transported to separate lockups. And then court for an initial appearance within a couple of hours afterward.

Driving home was often equivalent to having half a bag on.
 
I have 65,000 reasons to celebrate today. Finally after several appeals, denials and an external review, the bill for the expensive helicopter ride I suddenly took back in February must be paid by insurance! F*** you Anthem Insurance for denying it in the first place, “not medically necessary”, I guess they want you to be dead before transport rather than the service preventing death?

Let this be a lesson to everyone out there on the shady insurance company practices.

Make sure you bill an Alaskan Glacier Helicopter tour under scenic Lifestar category. Not to be confused with the emergency Lifestar category.
 
I was actually upset they faced me rearward and had my head locked in place so I couldn’t look out the side window, for my first time in a chopper I can say it had a nice roof liner and hanging brackets for the equipment to swing around or lock in place neatly!


I wasn’t injured in a wreck or anything, just woke up hot, sweaty and feeling like shit, I got real worried and asked my wife to call 911 when the paralysis from my legs and waist crept up and it hit my jaw, I almost bit my tongue off mid sentence with her and I figured I was having a stroke. The EMS ambulance crew came in and immediately called for the flight when they saw the heart reading all over the map, they thought I was minutes away from a heart attack. Severe dehydration is what the consensus with the doctors was at the end of it all which is strange because I’ve never had anything like it happen before, it was really out of sorts.

I spent 2 days in the hospital and was discharged at night, got home about 1am and the denial paperwork for the flight was delivered that next afternoon, it had to have been processed and mailed the day the damn flight occurred lol. No total cost was given at that point because it went to an automatic review which was standard, 30 days later I shit my pants when I got the 2nd denial with the itemized bill attached.

Great news. I’m in the very beginning stages of this. I just mailed the paperwork yesterday for the flight company to bill my insurance. Wish me luck.

Good luck! Just watch the deadlines for filing stuff and it was easy for me to get the initial medical records on my own to pass along so they couldn’t conveniently get “lost”, hot tip from the flight agency.

The help from the flight agency’s claims coordinator to get things resolved was actually pretty damn good, they don’t want customers stuck with the bills that insurance doesn’t want to pay due to the amount, she said that’s typical when the cost is as high as it was, I live in the countryside 1.5 hours to the good hospital, shit there was probably an extra charge for flying over Matthew Gregory Matthew Gregory house on the way to Buffalo.

The help from my insurance was baffling because like usual, each time I called I got a different answer on what to do or file next.
