    i dont know if it would work with your company, but most of them do not like negative publicity...in addition to shaming the nursing company into paying for meds i was promised...2 winters ago, my insurance company didnt want to cover my husband's trip to the hospital for a bad case of flu...with a high fever...at the time, he hadnt yet picked his G.P., cause several in area he chose werent taking new patients...soooo...we wrote a letter to the insurance company, copied to AARP and a few other places, protesting how dangerous flu can be to people in their 50's and 60's...BINGO...sure enuf, the insurance company changed their mind & paid for the hospital trip!!

    there are all kind sof ways to get to insurance companies, besides the appeals process!

    good luck

      Rita, I am so sorry about all this. I really hope everything gets resolve. You have to focus on your healing right now!!!
      I wanted to ask you about your surgery. I can relate cause I have a 95 thoracic as well, so I am interested in how much correction you got and how long is your fusion. Do you have a rib hump, now?
      I still can't get my surgery done brcause of lack of insurance.
      I am praying this reform...
      thanks
