A's Mommy;
Forgot something. What did you have to write to get the ins to pay for the Botox? I'm still working on the appeals and getting nowhere. I have United Health Care. The name is a joke.
Thanks for the help;
Doreen

For What Its Worth
By The Way
PNE as a result of childbirth, 2002. Treatment by the Houston team, with neurosurgery by Dr. Ansell in 2004. My left side ST and SS ligaments were found to be grown together, encasing the pudendal nerve.
I am cured. I hope you will be, too.
There are no medical answers on the forum. Your only hope is to go to a doctor. I was very happy with the Houston team, which has treated the most PNE patients (well over 400), more than any other US provider.

Re: Surgery next --- now the insurance game
Doreen,
I had to write a letter of medical necessity (I did this and then my PCP's office put their name to it... since most docs truly do not know what PNE is) stating all the conservative treatments I have tried thus far... including all the doctors I saw, all the drugs I'd taken, and all the therapies/blocks/procedures that I'd had. I also sent in all pertinent dictated reports from all the physicians that I'd seen (this took a while, as I was calling them myself because I wanted it to get done faster).
Any other questions you might have, please PM me. Which approach will you be heading for--- TIR OR TG?
I hope you are having a low pain or pain free day!
Sincerely,
A's Mommy
