Operator, may I help you?

I seriously doubt it.

The first thing I did this morning was call AHCCCS about all the mistakes they made on my denials for help with my 6 days in the hospital last month. I called the Toole Street office as that is the one with the number listed as my site on the denial sheets. A young immigrant after 10 minutes of discussion back and forth told me to call the Irvington Avenue office and speak to "Uh-LON."

Off I go, burning DH's cell minutes. 20 minutes and 3 people later they determined Miss I.F. (at the ORIGINAL office) processed my application and like I said before did not include the existence of my youngest child, none of the medical expenses whatsoever that I spent hours photocopying, etc. Turns out "Uh-Lon" is "Alan" and had nothing to do with my case. Information was taken, complaints filed, various managers and site locations were emailed, and I am awaiting their call to correct their ridiculous mistakes.

Next came the call regarding tomorrow's test. They were very good about it. The scheduler talked to the doctor and he is sending me to the hospital for some other test that will get the same reults///

  1. I have always heard if you get into that situation , you say to them I want to bump up and they send you to the next operator . If you still keep getting a foreigner then keep bumping till you get somebody who you can understand . and guess what it works. sorry you had all the trouble.

  2. NO actually it doesn't. They are offices here where I live which is filled with an extremely large portion of Mexican immigrants--and a large portion are illegal. I'm a minority here. Transferring to anyone else at the local DES is only going to get another immigrant. I have no problem with that if they SPEAK ENGLISH.
