What a great idea! I hadn't thought of that...we got 70% coverage

out of network, but had it been in it would have been 100%...and like

you, there is no in-network option! Good point, I'm going to call my

insurance co right now.

Thank you,

That is great !! Maybe you can help me out. CT is out of network

for us too. There are other places that we could've gone to that were

in network, but we chose to go to CT. Problem is that through my

insurance we dont have any out of network benefits for orthotics,

prosthetics, or DME. So they wont cover any of the band. is in

his 2nd band. Any ideas of what I can write in the appeal letter? It

is getting late now and I need to send it out. I may onlu have

another few weeks to work on it. Thanks!
