Guest guest Posted March 1, 2000 Report Share Posted March 1, 2000 Hi Donna Just wondering if you had Cigna. In case you do it is well documented with them that our son Dan has the disease. We have not had to fight for a NG Tube but have fought for treatment at Mt Sinai etc. My advice , KEEP FIGHTING. Our doctors had to write letters on our behalf to get treatment outside of network.

Guest guest Posted June 4, 2000 Report Share Posted June 4, 2000 Re: Pre-existing not covered - there are laws to protect us from such exclusions. Of course, criteria must be met, but pre-existing does not mean no coverage anymore. The law is " HIPAA " Or the Health Insurance Accountiblity and Portability Act. It is also known as the " Kennedy-Kasselbaum Act " after the 2 Senators who wrote it. I'm sure there is info on the ADA web site.
