    NEVER take an Insurance denial as the final word. If you have to, get info to back you up and tell them you will go to the media...then do it!

    You are a hero and a fighter
    You are a hero and a fighter Meena! If my insurance would ever deny a claim, I will always remember you and how you fought them and won! You are an inspiration to all of us!

    Meena! This is just what I wanted to hear!!! I love the "double-speak" of insurance companies, don't you? OMG~ they should be so ashamed of themselves! I have often said there is no way that any of the CEO's or any other higher-up muckety-mucks would have denied for a nano-second anyone in their families.

    Ok, enough of the rant and rave! I am so glad that your treatment was approved~ I got approval today for my PET scan, and will be having that on Monday afternoon. Though my liver biopsy does not need prior approval, I am still waiting on an appointment to get that done before my oncologist can work out my chemo schedule...

    Congrats for not taking this one lying down~ you go, girl! YAY

    Hugs,
    Chen♥

    FANTASTIC!
    Meena, I was telling my husband about this just yesterday, he was livid! During all my cancer battles he has been my warrior calling on my behalf and getting things done so I did not have to deal with it, he knows how fat headed insurance companies can be. Way to go girl sticking to your guns and letting them know you were not going to take this type of callus treatment from such a mindless machine known as \"insurance\". I am happy beyond works for you and I plan to share the good news with My Guy shortly.

    Hugs to you!!!

    Way to kick A55, Meena!
    Nice job of making your employers come to their senses and pony up for the treatments you need... obviously, you're not quite the shrinking violet you claim to be! =) With an attitude like yours, there's no way that this latest round of the devil is going to beat you this time, either.

    LOL Aortus!
