My TransEar was covered
« on: April 29, 2008, 03:43:29 pm »
A while back posters were discussing insurance coverage for a TransEAr.  My insurance covered it.  The code was written to allow it as a necessary prosthetic device due to "accident" of surgery.  Sounds like a work around, but there it is.

Don't you love it when something goes in our favor?  It seems insurance especially gets a bum wrap a lot.  I just got off the phone w/ my insurance to see if they will cover this doc I am going to Houston to see (instead of back to Baltimore) and it will...YEA!!!!

You know, as much as I complain about my insurance company and their red tape, it's a great feeling when they say they will pay for something  ;D

A lot of times I get the run around from them, but when I hear those three little letters (y-e-s), it definitely makes all my efforts worth it.
