Don’t let the “quick” response fill you. This request for all my information just got me put in ANOTHER person’s pile to have them review my file. Followed by a request for me to “give them time to review it”.

Hey @Marriott @MarriottBonvoy I have an customer case from over a month ago and cannot get anyone with authority to discuss it with me. In fact, someone closed it and I had to ask it to be reopened. Where’s basic customer service?

Btw - child has a 504 plan that specifically states unlimited medical absences can be excused. Can you imagine if this child didn’t have a parent who could navigate the system? I can and I still have a wee bit of fear.

Now excuse me while I go fight our insurance who refuse to pay for migraine medicine in 2023 for this child even though they paid for it for the last 18 months. Without meds, my child will be out of school even more days.

Exhibit C: child was out for major surgery. Missed three days = 12 absences. Parent submits excuse from the HOSPITAL on first day back. Gets threatening letter in mail one week after. Front office says it takes 2 weeks to update paperwork.

Re. Exhibit C: lest you think letter isn’t actually threatening, it throws in the Dept of Juvenile Justice and the Dept of Social Services as potential actions if I don’t have a conference with principal. I’m a professor of educational leadership and I feel threatened.

A midweek reminder for every single educator (and everyone else too): Normalize rest. Value rest. Celebrate rest. Invest in rest. Because REST is what allows us to show up 100% for ourselves and others, in service of children and families. The rest is part of the work. 💛👏

Hey look. Here we are again. This migraine med that was finally approved for my teen in August 2021 by our insurance company, who then covered it for 17 months, is now being denied coverage by the SAME insurance company. Dr appealed. Denied a second time.

Doc explains again. We get med. $30 for one shot. Pharmacy info says insurance saved us $763. What??? One shot for one month could cost us almost $800? We say, wow. Glad we have insurance. And we know how lucky we are. 4/x

And … denied because not approved for under 18. Ok. I get it. But you already paid for it for 18 months. They are closer to 18 now than they were 18 months ago!

And by the way, the $800 shot 18 months ago would now cost us $2400+ out of pocket. #BigPharma keeps winning. While we sit here with a chronically ill child who can’t access necessary medication.
