ADVICE ON APPEALING INSURANCE COMPANY???

[Guest guest]

We are desperatly seeking advice on how to go about appealing the insurance

company for coverage on Docband. We took our twin sons to CT and one has severe

plagio and they think he will need two to three bands for correction and the

other twin will need one band. As you can imagine 4 bands at $3800 adds up way

too quick. At this we are going to go to a Starband provider in Dallas as well.

CT is out of network with our insurance United Healthcare. However, Starband

has an in network facility here in Dallas that we can use. We have an appt with

them next week so I am not even sure who we will be using. Unfortantly, we may

have no choice except to go with Starband (and we may very well be satisfied

with this)due to the expense. I just want to know that we make the best

decision for our boys despite the cost or insurance coverage. For those of you

that could choose CT or Starband why did you decide to go with the company you

choose? Expense, look, product, insurance coverage, and so forth????

At any rate, we are curious if anyone has had any luck appealing UHC especially

when starband wasin network. I am guessing that no matter what if we go with CT

that we will not get anywhere b/c we have an in network provider. So we are

just looking for anyone that may have been in a similiar situation and how you

won an appeal.

Thanks so much
