jbyrd63, My insurance companies great staff doctor denied a PET scan twice. Two doctors at Mayo clinic prescribed it twice after detecting cancer in a lymph node in my pelvic area using a MRI. They needed the PET scan to see if the cancer has spread. I don't know if you are familiar with Mayo Clinic in Rochester Minnesota but they are considered to be some of the best doctors in the world. I called my insurance company 3 times and got nothing but a run around. I've been dealing with cancer for three and a half years and it keeps reoccurring. The insurance company said the PET scan was not medically necessary. They never said it wasn't covered in my policy. A friend of mine recommend that I call the state insurance commission here in South Dakota. I sent copies of all my insurance denials and my doctors prescription plus a letter from my Mayo Clinic doctor describing in detail why I needed this scan to possibly save my life and they were just giving me the run around. I sent everything I had to the insurance commission too. I get my health insurance thru a group policy where I retired from. I got ahold of the benefit company that handles the health and life insurance for our group. I sent a copy of all the same stuff to them also. The representatives from the state agency and the benefit company logged complaints and both were very critical of the insurance company dragging their feet when a persons life is at stake. In less than 48 hours the insurance reversed their denial. Insurance companies paid doctors make decisions that are in their companies best financial interest, consideration for our health care is secondary at best. You might check and see if your state has an insurance commission. Its crazy for insurance company doctors to override the doctors who are examining and treating you. Just wanted to share my experience. By the way I get my scan on the 13th of December. The down side is that I have lost 6 weeks of precious time when I should have been getting the scan and treatments. Best of luck my friend and hope we both get back on the trapline soon.

I have good days and bad days with my back, but every day above the ground is a good one regardless.
I hope you find acceptable relief.
Keep your boots dry and your powder too.
I remember when a fur check was reality.....now I'm just trapping for the love of it.
Best Regards,
JT

I hope things work out for you. Good luck.
I got myself a seniors' GPS. Not only does it tell me how to get to my destination, it tells me why I wanted to go there.

That pizzes me off, just hearing about it. I'm pretty mad for you, that you had to go thru that. Glad you finally got some help. j...you need to find someone to help you go above those azzclowns heads. You need help, not doors slamming in your face.
