Guest guest Posted February 28, 2005 Report Share Posted February 28, 2005 but not much of one. I sent Dr. Sussman a ton of information, pictures of the different braces and other such goodies. This was nearly a month ago. I even emailed a second time asking if he'd received it and what were his comments. I also asked about Darbi's crookedy toes and if the brace might help with that. here's the response I got this afternoon. I suppose it's better than nothing eh? tyhanks for all the info you sent--our group is discussing where we want to go with bracing the brace you showed would be ok with me--although shrine can not pay for it-but your insurance should--let me knoe if you need a prescription M.D. sussman -----Original Message----- Apparently he doesn't spend too much time responding to emails lol! So, I remember a discussion recently about coding for the Brace. I kind of want to try it if insurance will pay. At least to see if her toe can be straightened out a bit. Anyone had any luck getting this covered? We get new group insurance tomorrow. I don't know what they pay for and what they don't quite yet. Thoughts?

Guest guest Posted March 1, 2005 Report Share Posted March 1, 2005 I recently received a check for $80.00 for the s. I submitted it myself lets see two months ago. We do have a $250.00 deductable with our insurance for DME. I am now in the process of disputing this because before we had the s we had the Markells which of course the insurance didn't cover and that was $70.00 out of pocket and I submitted that towards are deductable but when they paid us for the s they convieniently (sp?) forgot to apply towards the deductable. So I am sure they will be cutting us another check may not be that much but when you think of what you pay them in premium every month I'll take every penny I can get from them. LOL Good luck!
