A super brief update from the Dexcom\/insurance debacle<\/a>. \u00a0I received a bill from the 3rd party (wait 2nd party? \u00a0Oo-la-la! \u00a0A fiesta!) that supplied my “new” Dexcom G4. \u00a0The bill was not for the full bazillion dollars but for the co-pay\/prescription plan. \u00a0Interesting. \u00a0I also received my next 3 month shipment of Dexcom sensors. \u00a0Although I do NOT have it in writing (trying), it appears my Medical Denial was indeed overturned and it was NOT because of the 2nd or 3rd party supplier (it’s 2nd right? \u00a0Why am I so confused on this?) BUT because I went a little nutso and my doctor had a peer-to-peer review with one of the doctors from the medical insurance company. \u00a0Again I do NOT have this in writing (I do have about 10 copies of the denial letter though) but I’m willing to put myself out there and consider this a win.<\/p>\n

WHEW!!!!<\/p>\n

In other news, I am 61% to my JDRF Ride goal. \u00a0In 45 days, (how is this even possible so soon???!? I NEED MORE TIME) I will be riding 100 Miles in Burlington, Vermont. \u00a0I still can’t believe I’m doing this (well trying, I haven’t done it yet and my longest ride so far is\u00a065 miles which\u00a0did NOT\u00a0go well… but more on that and my NEW game plan, maybe next week).<\/p>\n

When\u00a0I started Alecia’s Stem Cells (JDRF Walk team), in 2001, we collectively raised just over $7000. \u00a0Little did I know then how much the team would grow and even go on to walk in\u00a0other cities. \u00a0Switching to the Ride program is like starting all over again. \u00a0I am cycling fetus. \u00a0Everything is new to me and there is just so much trial and error (and some crashing). \u00a0It has been a bit of a relief to not deal with organizing so many people and everyone’s travel plans but on the flip side, the training and time commitment to Ride\u00a0are\u00a0significant (read: A LOT). \u00a0Want to help me get beyond 61%? \u00a0Check out this PAGE<\/a><\/strong>… If you could share this link with other, I’d be beyond appreciative!<\/p>\n
