We went to see my Pain Management doctor today to ask him about getting some help appealing the insurance company's decision. We didn't get the good news we were hoping for. Turns out that my insurance hasn't covered this procedure as a general rule.
Even though that news was frustrating to hear, the doctor gave us some really great advice on things to bring up in our appeal. He is going to draft a letter for them and help us out wherever he can. He is an amazing guy and we are very lucky to have him on our side. Today my mom was just saying that he seems like the kind of guy we want to invite over with his family for a BBQ.
Another point that was brought to our attention today was that we may have to go back to my neurosurgeon to talk about a ganglionectemy surgery. We had discussed the possibility of removing the root of my occipital nerve before but, if we don't get the insurance company's decision appealed, that option may become our only hope. It would be an irreversible surgery that would take all day long to accomplish in the operating room and that would leave the back of my head numb.
That isn't what we're hoping for. So, even though we got some good news, there was still enough bad news to make the situation suck even more.
I need a restart button.
