Anyone in NY State w/ DOC band have an external Appeal

[Guest guest]

Hi,

I was wondering if anyone that has the DOC band in NY has gone through the external appeal process with their insurance company. We have Blue Shield of Northeastern NY. They denied my appeal because they say it is cosmetic and that my daughter has no functional defect. Has anyone else been through this. Any information would help. Thank you,

Jaya Dong is a group monitor from the other plagio group. She

WON her external NEW YORK review against United Healthcare on the

Cosmetic issue..and has posted the new york letter. The other group

name is POSITIONALPLAGIO.

She also reads often from the Cranial Teck parents board.

I will post her email when I find it.

Thanks,
