I goofed. Sorry

[Guest guest]

Brigette, sorry, I got off track in my response to you. My point was

that I had a difficult time just getting all the correct information

from the rep whether it physical coverage or insurance coverage. I

just didn't get the truth about the type of wire, the surgery, etc.

And with my trial, even though I had some success, the rep blamed me

for not getting the pain coverage that I needed. She claimed that it

was me not using the programmer properly. But I had several follow up

visits during the trial. So a lot of effort was made on my part to

learn what I was suppose to do and how to do it. Sorry for the

confusion.

Hope
