Re: Insurance Denials - Need Help

We have United Healthcare as well.� They have given us nothing but a hard time

throughout my son 's apraxia diagnosis and treatment.� If I was a rich

person (and didn't have to work 40 hours a week while raising two boys), then I

would make it a point to picket outside their offices here�in Columbus, OH.�

We've appealed and appealed and appealed again, changed codes...done everything

possible.� My father is a Common Pleas Judge here in Ohio, but is still able

to handle some legal matters for his immediate family.� I am asking him to

draft a letter on our behalf to United Healthcare.� I'm hoping it will scare

the hell out of them, but I doubt it.� I'll let you know if they budge at all.

Hi - My current insurance company is being a pain about covering ST, but

there are a lot of stipulations in the plan (ST only covered due to illness

or injury, so this may not be a surprise anyways). But anyway, my husband

has UHC offerred through his work and we're thinking about switching to that

at open enrollment but after reading these posts I'm thinking better of it.

His employer's plan document specifically says that speech, even for

developmental delays, is covered up to age 18. Is that true for your plans

as well and you're still having problems with it?

Thanks so much!
