Aspirin Desensitization in Washington State and arguments for insurance company

[Guest guest]

Hello all,

My insurance company just denied my request to go to Scripps clinic

for desensitization. They said it was it was a investigational

treatment. I just had sinus surgery and they found really bad polyps.

I would like to do Desensitization ASAP and am looking for someone in

Washington State. I'd love to hear from the person who saw a doctor

in Spokane? I live in Seattle but would gladly travel to avoid

regrowth. It has already been 1 month since surgery and all my

symptoms are back.

thanks to all,

best,

tikka

Tikka,

Of course insurance companies will deny requests whenever they can. I

say, appeal, appeal, appeal. Gather evidence from clinical trials that

they've done on aspirin desensitization and asthma or get someone to do

it for you. Try to present the case to your insurance that doing the

aspirin desensitization could reduce your chances of having to have

surgery again.

Insurance companies automatically turn down a certain percentage of

clais, and sometimes you just have to play the game until they get

tired of you. You definitely have the right to appeal. Maybe your

doctor or even Scripps can help with this.
