Guest guest Posted February 8, 2006 Report Share Posted February 8, 2006 Hello I need help. I am writing a letter to UHC in reference to their denial. The reason that they are denying is because they want me to use Hanger. I do not want to use Hangar because there nearest facility is 52 miles away from my house and Cranial Tech is only 10 miles away. Has anyone done a letter of appeal for this. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Michele Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted February 8, 2006 Report Share Posted February 8, 2006 Hi Michele, I wish I could help you, I'm sorry that I can't. When it comes to insurance I don't know anything. You could check out the insurance info in our files section. You can also check out this site; http://www.cappskids.org/PlagioInsuranceHelp.htm Don't give up, keep fighting them. You shouldn't have to travel that far if you have a place that close to you. Good luck and please keep us posted. > > Hello I need help. I am writing a letter to UHC in reference to their > denial.

Guest guest Posted February 8, 2006 Report Share Posted February 8, 2006 Michele, Will they at least give you out of network benefits? That is what we got for Cece's band. I am still appealing it. Did you figure out how much you'd pay in gas for all the appointments? > > Hello I need help. I am writing a letter to UHC in reference to their > denial.

Guest guest Posted February 9, 2006 Report Share Posted February 9, 2006 The lady that called me from my insurance said that my limit was 60 miles. Also they say that in network is the Hangar Band but they still dont guarantee that they will pay. I have to appeal because if they deny me again then I can go thru my husbands insurance trust and they will reimburse. It is just time consuming. I have had more trouble with United Healthcare than with our other insurance that we used to have which is Humana. When we go back to open enrollment I plan to put the kids back on Humana.
