Do know what a Doctor thinks when you're trying to explain why you need a doctor's note for a sinus block? They are literally rolling their eyes... and with little kids, they bring home lots of viruses from school.

I understand some of the company's concerns, but I think that certain things (like surgery, in patient or not, cancer treatment, all broken bones, etc) should be removed from the 12 month look back when you're provided verification.
