Gail - BCBS TEC assessment

[Guest guest]

Hi Gail,

BCBS used their TEC assessment to deny me also. But, their assessment was done in 1999. So, one of the articles I enclosed with my appeal was from the journal "Pediatrics" and discussed hos children with plagio has an increase incidence of ear infection and are at high risk for developmental difficulties. I also pointed out in my appeal that this article was published in Feburary, 2000 *after* their assessment. I don't know if it's too late for you to mention that. BCBS stated that the external review board's decision would be final and the claim would be closed after that.....that turned out to be a good thing for me. Take care.
