Re: [PlagioMarci/] Insurance Questions

[Guest guest]

Thanks Marci,

Yea..that's what we are going to do. We are sort of fighting with this insurance company right now..and also trying to find out from the new insurance company whether they cover it or not. Hopefully one of them will cover it..and then we can get started. We might start and then fight after...depends what response we get and how fast. (And yea. i'm on my husband's insurance)

Thanks

We changed insurance after began treatment. The former insurance

company eventually coverd the cost of the helmet way after we had changed

companies and after had finished the treatment. I would think if you

got the appointment and the approval from the old company before your initial

appointment then they would be obligated to pay. Of course, if they deny the

claim then you might give it just a little more time and see if the new

company will pay up. You are so close to the change I can see why you are

confused. Can you get your husband's HR department to help? (I think you said

you were on your husband's insurance).

ann gave you some good advice - you really do need to do the footwork if you

can and it sounds like you are. You are the best advocate for your baby and

noone cares more about the situation then you! Keep very careful records

especially when dealing with the insurance company. Keep copies of everything

and document all of your phone conversations in a log book. These were the

things that I found to be very helpful when I was going through the insurance

battle. Does your husband's workplace have an HR department? If so, they could

be VERY helpful in communicating with the insurance companies especially in

regards to old vs. new company - and they should help you! Ultimately though you

will want to be in the loop so keep a firm grip on the situation.

Hang in there - insurance is really one of those things that you can't live with

and you can't live without!!
