Title: Successful Insurance Appeal
Post by MJP4646 on Dec 21^st, 2007, 12:58pm

I wanted to pass along that I recently went thru an appeal process with Medco the largest third party drug administration company and was able to increase my insurance paid injections to 144mg a month from 48mg. Needless to say as I am in cycle I could use alot more but will take what I get.

The appeal took 6 days and was less confrontational than I expected so if you haven't appealed yet give it a shot.

Nice job M. Can you share a bit of your strategy for dealing with them? It might help someone else. What evidence did you collect to demonstrate your need? Thanks in advance...

Winning against the insurance company is fighting the good fight. Sharing the information with others here is "rowing the boat". Thanks for fighting the good fight, but help us row!

With Pain Free Wishes,
