Just an FYI for those in the US with insurance issues
this sounds oddly plausible
a good doctor will pester the insurance company on your behalf. a couple times in my Back Pain Odyssey my insurance noped out on a procedure, and my doctor called them up and was like “no, really” and they gave in.
so if your insurance is in the habit of going “you don’t actually need TWO months of physical therapy, just walk it off,” tell the doctor who ordered it, and they may very well volunteer to, or agree to, call up the insurance people and go “simon says pay for the fucking therapy.”
For all my peeps out there fighting the good fight against Big Pharma Bureaucratic Bullshit.
I knew a girl who worked for an insurance company processing claims. She was a homophobic conservative christian who wasn’t able to get a job as a teacher- which was her chosen field. She admitted she was very arbitrary in what she approved. So yes, fight that stupid cunt.
Always fight the insurance companies. They don’t want to pay for anything.
Totally ask the doctor’s office to call for you. If they do and have no luck, or they can’t/won’t, call them yourselves. Follow these steps. Ask to know why the claim was denied, and what other information they need to have it deemed medically necessary.
Insurance companies don’t wanna fight with you. They expect us all to roll over and just accept that they won’t pay for things.
Don’t let ‘em win.
