Denied by my union/insurance. help?!?!

[Guest guest]

I am in Local 701, with BCBS of Illinois. Even though my son has moderate-severe

plagiocephaly, we were denied coverage, saying it is purely cosmetic. Yes we

can appeal. Does anyone have advise or info i can pass on to them to get this

approved. thank you all so much in advance for any help.

Do you have a letter of medical necessity from a pediatrician or neurosurgeon?

If you can get one, that will help a lot. Read through the insurance tips in the

Files section. There is really a lot of useful information compiled there.

Cranial Tech also has a section on their website with research study summaries.

You might want to peruse these and see if anything might help your argument. A

lot of people include research study results in their appeals. Site the study in

your appeal letter, and include a copy of the study. Best of luck, and let us

know if there's more we can do!
