Insurance Appeal

It appears my migraine doc is appealing my insurance companies decision to not allow me to do another round of Botox. The doc said the Botox can provide more benefit the longer taken - and that it would really takes 3 or 4 injection before I knew for sure if it will reduce the frequency of the migraines. As you can imagine the insurance company doesn't see it that way.

Honestly, I didn't even know they were going to do this but am really glad they decided to. That's not to say that I hold onto much hope that the insurance company will decide to go ahead and allow it just because of the appeal - in face I have no confidence in them at all.

Still, I must admit I appreciate the effort by all those in my doc's office who will now have extra work on my behalf. And who knows, what a great surprise it would be if we won the appeal.

Have you ever had to make an appeal to your insurance company? How did it turn out?
