Pass the wine!

Physical Therapy: We reached the end of what we can do until (or unless) they do corrective surgery.

Orthopedics: Usually these things can be corrected by simply continuing Physical Therapy.

Me: (while reading that a CT scan was performed so insurance refused for an MRI, knowing that a CT scan cannot provide the necessary diagnostic information)

 Knowledge is power, but often met with equal parts of frustration.

 Dealing with insurance companies can be so frustrating! Could your primary care physician intervene on your behalf to prescribe medically necessary procedures so they'll be covered?

I'll be seeing her in just a couple of weeks, and I am going to ask just that. Let us cross our fingers.

 Insurance companies have the philosophy "Hurry up and wait?!"

 Please keep getting your doctors to press the issue with the insurance company. Obviously whomever is making the decisions has no idea that a CAT scan is completely different from a MRI.

Fourteen years ago, my primary doctor ordered a Lung CT scan. My employer insurance company (Blue Cross/Blue Shield) refused to approve it after several requests. My primary doctor referred me to a lung specialist. A pulmonologist from Temple Lung Center made the call to my insurance for the Lung CT scan, and it was approved on the spot.
