Anyway, the insurance company has now informed me that to prevent these delays from happening again, I have to ensure that Uncle's doctor sends a new prescription to the supply company a month before the insurance company's authorization expires so the supply company has time to get a new authorization.
What purpose can this requirement possibly serve, other than making it harder for Uncle to obtain the benefits he needs?
It's not like he's suddenly going to stop being a diabetic.

@jik@federate.social the tactics these companies use are straight out of the CIA’s Simple Sabotage Field Manual from WWII, it’s definitely #POSIWID 🤬 📕 https://www.gutenberg.org/files/26184/26184-h/26184-h.htm

I also asked the insurance company on the phone today to authorize the shipment of two extra sensors to Uncle. This is necessary because they have currently only authorized enough sensors to exactly cover the time between shipments, which means if one of them fails, he will once again be without a sensor, which, again, he needs to successfully control his glucose. 6/?
