Guest guest Posted November 19, 2001 Report Share Posted November 19, 2001 Hi Gang, This lady wrote to me after seeing my website. She has s son that needs microtia reconstruction and atresia surgery. Her letter she has written to me follows. As you can see she really needs some advice and support concerning the insurance aspect and how to handle it. I am going to send her the link to our group and until then I hope you all will write her with advice and encouragement. Thanks, thank you for answer my email, yes my son need a microtia surgery also call reconstruction of the ear my insurance denied the request for the surgery because the doctor john REINISCH lived and work in Los Angeles children's hospital and they said is out of Florida State, and others doctors in Tampa, Florida can do the surgery but these doctors said my son need to wait until he;s 7 years old but dr. john reinisch can do the surgery now because he used a medpor material to build the ear we search around since my son born ,and the use of the rib to build the ear take five different surgeries and the results are very poor ,we are pretty sure dr reisinsch is the right doctor for our son I spoke with few parents after their children's surgery and they very happy and i saw pictures.and the results are are excellent and they just need two surgeries, and also I investigate about dr. reisnisch , these parents lived in California and they didn't have to pay a penny for the surgery because they lived in California and MEDICAL pay for everything but my case is different because they won;t cover the surgery for my son because we lived in Florida of course,in the present time my son have.. a delay in the speech and language and the insurance doesn't want to cover the therapy either and in order to open the ear canal he need to have the reconstruction surgery of the ear first I was paying insurance for nothing and I feel desperate because of my situation I willing to sell my car but won't be enough for the surgery and I looking for some help I try the shrines but is nothing they can do for my son, please let me know if you can provide me with some information and thank you again for answer my email, I sorry for my grammar but my native language is spanisch,thank you and I look forward to hear from you maribel rosas Melalo10@...
