On top of trying to find a NEW Medicare Advantage plan for my husband (once again, his was discontinued in our area) we receive the "Questionnaire" from the LTD company that is even more detailed than last year! Give me a break! He's got A L S! What part of that do they not understand? You would think they would flag an insured that had such a diagnosed, but I get that if you don't fill out the paperwork you won't get your check! Nice! This has to be returned in 21 days from the date the letter was sent, physician's documentation and signature, too!
Stupid, invasive questions:
What kind of hobbies or social/community activities did you engage in prior to your disability? Have you continued to engage in any of these activities since you became disabled...if yes please list the hobbies...and how often you participate... List all types of activities that you do during the...day...Specifically from the time you arise...til you retire. Do you own a personal computer? What kinds of programs are you proficient in? Do you have an email address? Do you have your own website? Are you paying for Medicare part D? They ask you to rate what you are capable of doing, then to describe the exact impairment or restriction! Duh! Plus questions asking detailed info about SSDI amount, spouse, dependant, etc... Like they don't already know! :-?
Very frustrated at the moment! Why does this all happen at holiday season? Seems the joy is sucked right out of everything!
OK! I'm done!
