Guest guest Posted July 8, 2006 Report Posted July 8, 2006 My audiologist recently put in for authorization for an fm system for both of my hard of hearing children. They were both denied. The one for my 5 yr old was initially apporved, but the person who was doing the auth for my younger child convinced him that the school would provide one and they didnt need to. While yes the school will provide one, they dont provide for other learning situations such as church or other group functions. I am going to appeal the decision of the insurance company to try to get them the fm which I feel that they truely do need. Does anyone here have any advice or information on research to use when I am preparing this appeal? Quote
Guest guest Posted July 9, 2006 Report Posted July 9, 2006 Sometimes you can get your school to let you use the FM outside of school - ours does. It can be written into the IEP since times out of school (church, etc.) are also learning situations. Might be worth pursuing...
