Thanks,
I wish the insurance company would hurry up and do something. I have never run into such an unorganized, bunch of crooks in my life. They did approve the trial which was the most fantastic week I have had in years. But the have stalled, lost medical records, and basically flat out lied to us, because they can't tell me the same story from one call to the next. I am about 2-3 months and at lest that many appeals into trying to get the permanent implant approved. It has become totally riduculous. I have been within hours on 2 occasions of going to surgery only to get a last minute denial. I found out a few weeks ago that a nurse is their medical review for approving my case. I told them that as a paramedic, my scope of practice was far greater than her's, outside the confines of a medical facility, and that I wanted this thing..
Of course that didn't fly...
So now if we get it, we will be pushing fall before I can return to work. ya gotta love 'em.
Good Luck with yours, they are a terrific device. That really does work. It isn't snake oil.
Keep Kickin'AS
Chris
