[Home-on-the-Range] Surgery Update

[Lynda Anders]

Hello NFBK Family,

My surgery didn't take place due to insurance denial.  I have contacted the Lawrence Senior Resource Center and will be having a phone meeting with a medicare counselor on Friday morning at eleven.  On Monday after learning this distressing news, I contacted my insurance company and was told that the surgery is still pending.  However, the nurse at my pain specialist/surgeon's office says it was denied.  My doctor spoke with the insurance doctor "pier to pier," and big brother insurance told him no.  He wants me to try a pain stimulator which I am not a good candidate for.  In my possession I have documentation from the cairopractor	 and physical therapist which proves my having tried other alternatives.  My primary care physician says it is up to the surgeon to make the appeal but she will provide her xrays if necessary.  Continued prayers are greatly appreciated Please!  I have restarted my medications but have no relief yet as they will take a few days to come up to blood level in my system.  I have been in this excruciating pain for almost four months.  Thank you all for your prayers and support.  

Much Love,

Lynda
