but I think these days were all in the same boat. About a month ago I went to e.r. for chest pain, insurance said they won't pay because I had symptoms for more than 72 hours. I didn't go until I felt pain in my left shoulder and neck. I'm waiting for the answer to the appeal. I asked am I supposed to go every time I feel a little pain just to make sure it's paid?
