insurance frustrations/ncc

[Guest guest]

Hi Friends,

I don't vent very often, but I'm up for a big one! My lower back has

been causing problems since this summer, so my primary doctor suggested

PT. It was pre authorized and I went for 12 visits.

I received a denial of benefits in the mail the other day. I guess our

new insurance has a clause that you can only have PT for 60 consecutive

days. I had PT for my neck in the spring, and they said that my lumbar

problems are all a part of the cervical spine, and they won't provide

anymore PT for me for my spine!

I asked if I injured my right leg when I was 10 and broke it again when

I was an adult and had PT when I was 10, would they pay for the PT as an

adult? They said no, I have 60 days on the right leg for a life time.

Same goes for the spine.

You want to talk " on the war path " ? That is where I am at right now.

Insurance had better watch out for me tomorrow. Press, here I come.
