RE: New here: So glad I obtained 3 MD opinions!

[Guest guest]

Hey , Sounds you are from North Carolina like me. I had thought about

driving to Duke if I could not find a good IR to see. I found one in

Winston-Salem. I was suppose to have a UAE last week, but my insurance deny

the procedure, so the doctor is appealing on my behalf. I had thought about

going to another OB/GYN for a 2nd opinion on my fibroids. I did get two

opinions on the UAE procedure. I had a myo in 1998 and the tumors came back.

I do not want to go that route again. Keep in touch; I still might have to

drive a little further to get another opinion for the insurance and I will

to.

me for an MRI.

I have CIGNA HMO. Laurie had sent me a web site information today on CIGNA

and they do pay for UAE procedure. I also faxed the information to my IR. I

never had any problems with them on the MRI. In fact, I have never had any

problems on anything until this. I am doing like Dr. Kirsch told me to sit

back and let my IR handle the appeal. Who is your insurance company?

Fight with them!!!!!!!!!An MRI is one of the better

ways to see something. If my first idiot Dr had taken

the photos and MRI into the operating room with him

maybe I wouldn't have had to find a new Doc who did

take the MRI into the operating room to do the surgery

right

My insurance company required some prompting too to

okay the MRI but they did after hearing from the Drs

me and more

Is there anyone on the list with Group Health insurance? Do you know if

they will approve an MRI? UAE? Thanks.

[Guest guest]

Thanks e. I think there might be a workaround

(hoping) with the UAE. I am seeing another gyn who

works with an IR that will have to do it as part of

his examination. I may have him fight with the ins

co. if they give me a problem.
