I am going in with TEETH.
If you ever have to fight with US medical insurance companies, keep every document, every case number, and keep phone records handy. Always. Don't give up. Collect that evidence like you're Sherlock-fucking-Holmes. 8/8
So now it isn't just the denial of care we're going to a state hearing about. UH fucked themselves over by not providing proper info on documentation. So I might actually win this. This is huge honestly. 7/8
So basically, UnitedHealthcare kept purposefully closing my appeals on their end and restarting them, and they refused to send documentation because they wanted it to look like I withdrew the appeal, which I did not. They CREATED a situation to sabotage my care. And I fucking caught them. 6/8
I waited a few weeks thinking there was no chance my word would be enough. I got a notice in the mail today that the state bureau of hearings found that not only did UnitedHealthcare LIE about the appeal process, they didn't provide the appropriate follow-up info on the only denial notice I got. 5/8
I sent an appeal to the state hearing board, and included a statement of events, as well as all the notices I saved, phone records to prove communication happened, and all the case numbers I was given for appeals. 4/8
I eventually, I got to a point where I was told to proceed to a state hearing. So I did. I requested one and everything. Imagine my surprise when I was denied a state hearing, a basic right. I felt like something was up when I saw UH got a copy of the denial. I suspected they'd lied. 3/8
I kept every notice, and noted down that they refused to send me further denial notices, only 'appeal approved' notices. They also stopped sending my therapist notices. I kept getting jerked around with different info every time I called. I suspected they were sabotaging the process. 2/8
I just fucked UnitedHealthcare over, and I am positively GLOWING. I've been fighting to keep my trauma specialist, who I haven't seen now since last October, since UnitedHealthcare decided to drop her. They were super shady about the whole appeals process and tried to derail it and fuck it up. 1/8
So you thought you were going to read a spicy dungeon scene, but instead you're reading about two women skulking around the castle carrying human flesh to cook for their lord, cos guess what? Gothic horror π€

A human woman, Holly, sits in the lap of a male demon, D, with both of their clothes semi falling off. She is blushing and looks a little shy while he looks possessive.
Digital hand drawn art. D, a male demon, stands with his back to the viewer. He is kissing the head of and holding Holly, a human female, with their hips aligned suggestively. Holly has her arms and legs wrapped around him with a vacant but happy expression as if overwhelmed and exhausted by pleasure. They're both naked and it's very cute.
Digital hand drawn artwork. Characters Az, a tall male demon, and Evelyn, a small human woman disguised with horns and a tail, sit in each other's laps gazing into each other's eyes. Naked. In a softly lit bedroom.
Digital hand drawn art. Az, a male demon, leans down over Evelyn, a human woman, who is pulling him by his cravat as she lays on a desk with her clothes falling off. Gotta replace those zippers and buttons smh

I may get back to sharing my books on social media in time, if the doomscroll stuff ever calms down. Authors are just getting buried in it and so many are quitting because people have abandoned us for hyperfocusing on news (I totally get it, don't get me wrong).
Please make time for art today.
I've mostly stopped promoting my work anywhere. It feels pointless these days, as so few want to help in any way or even interact, and it feels like I'm expending so much energy for a lot of crickets. I'm sad. I wish things were different and my books were something people were interested in.
π€© That is so wicked!
I can drop a link if interested π
Hopefully they don't π But it's the 'zon.
That's so awesome! πππ Please keep me updated on how it all goes.
Just kind of been glowing lately. Things have been a little unreal π
Absolutely π Can confirm, and it's amazing π€©
Aro week π±π
