Day 429
The Appeal was submitted by my Neurosurgeon after waiting 13 weeks. The insurance company has everything to review, they have 30 days to make a determination. That will be October 14. The appeal ripped the insurance company a new one. The first line said this is a clear cut diagnosis. It goes on to list the types of meds, therapies, and the diagnostic procedures. Then it references a Journal Paper, authors, and determination of the procedure. He even asks for a scholarly response citing the specific papers.
I found out I could have sent the appeal myself, the Neurosurgeon's office lied to me. My response may have not been as technical, but I came across that specific paper eight months ago. My appeal probably would have contained name calling and physical threats...maybe not the best plan.
I have been suffering from constant pain like an ice pick for 15 months, my patience for people dragging this out is over.
