Re: Frustrated with FOX news story- owen

[Guest guest]

I am sure you are frustrated but it is never a waist of time yo have

helped a ton of other parents our there. Maybe you could call fox and ask

them to do a follow up story on the insurance end of it -- or go the papers

with the insurance denial and just let the insurance know what you plan to

do.

Good Luck keep us posted!

My wife and I saw the short on FOX and were a bit let down that they

didn't mention you or the insurance situation, too. We assumed that cute

blond guy was Owen, and noted that Mr McGriff?(The crime dog!) mispronounced

'positional plagiocephaly'. My next door neighbor just moved, which is a

bummer. He produced the channel 6 morning news show (Called it the Larry

Sprinkle Variety Show) and probably would have helped out. We'll pass the

word to friends of his

Keep fighting Cigna, our insurance co (Aetna US Healthcare) came through

over the last month without any bitching or whining by us at all. Good for

them, we're good at the B & W'ing!

Hi All-

Thanks to all of you who have voiced support over the let down with the FOX news story. They called me today, after I called and emailed them about my disappointment and let me know it isn't over with them yet. CIGNA finally called them back and told FOX to tell us that we are supposed to go through an appeal process. NO KIDDING! One producer at FOX has been particularly helpful so I still have hope. At least now CIGNA knows we are not going quietly. I will keep you all posted. Joe- if your friend at news 6 can help please let me know.

I have a feeling now that CIGNA knows you're threatening a news story

with them, that they'll approve your appeal! They better. Let us

knwo how it goes.

Cigna will probably give in to avoid negative publicity. Beyond that

I'll poke around for ya. I believe my old neighbor now does the night news

for one of the smaller stations (it's the same crew from '6' but a different

network...wierd...UPN? WB54? Cable ruins my concept of actual stations).

,

I'm sorry about the FOX news story. :-( I guess the bright side is that it

did spread the word about plagio and banding treatment.
