Re: Mad at Husbands School - Insurance

[Guest guest]

What a bummer Heidi I suppose your 1st step here would be to send

in your paperwork & find out why they don't cover the helmets, then

go from there with your appeals.

Sorry about that, that really stinks!

How's Jeffry doing? Is he still in his 2nd helmet or on to a 3rd

now? Hope he's still rounding nicely!

Heidi,

This totally stinks!! I can't believe they won't cover the helmets

for you. I know when I was pregnant with the twins, my hubby got a

new job which meant switching over to a new insurance policy and

initially we were told that my appointments wouldn't be covered since

it was a pre-existing condition before switching insurances. We

called member's benefits hotline (or whatever its called) and they

told us, as long as we had some type of documentation that we had

been going to drs appointments all along, then I would be covered

with no problems. I can't remember the logic behind it, but if you

could show documentation that you have been getting Jeffry treated

all along, then they would pay as contuining treatment. I don't

know, just throwing ideas your way! I hope you guys can get this all

figured out real soon!
