Independence Blue Cross has denied my genetic testing related to breast, cancer and other cancers.

I am a breast cancer survivor currently in remission, and I have had several bouts of skin cancer. I also had a full hysterectomy a few years ago because I had septated cysts and fibroids. Penn wanted me to do the genetic testing again because there are many updated markers from when I first had the test done 13 years ago.

It is absolute bullsheit that IBX would deny a test that would put my mind as ease as a cancer patient. I am super pissed off about this. I pay my bills to them and I pay on time.

So I am contesting it.

After telling them that I wanted to contest their decision I got this reply:

As a cancer patient still what necessitates a medical necessity? To get cancer again?

This is total bullsheit.

I can’t believe with all the money I pay out for health insurance etc, they can’t allow me testing they have allowed before.

So oh hell yes, I am contesting this you cheap, penny pinching bastards with executives who make more money than God off of our health insurance premiums.

Sign me pissed off.

Breast cancer, the gift that keeps on giving.
