Re: need help with insurance-blue cross-AND Medica

[Guest guest]

Has anyone had any success getting Medica to approve the

shoes?

Aleksander is going back in the Markell's on Tuesday, and I'm

anticipating that he may have problems with them again.

I've already contacted Medica to see if they have covered them in

the past, but of course the rep's don't have a clue!

But, I did get them to lower my co-pay from $100/visit to $20! That

was a huge thing, so I'm very pleased so far. They wanted to charge

the co-pay for outpatient services at a hospital. I had to explain

that although Gillette is a hospital, Aleksander was going there as

though it was a clinic. Thankfully, with the help of Gillette, they

accepted that and changed the co-pays!
