Title: DEN 2....Insurance Co. 0
Post by rumplestiltskin on Aug 24^th, 2003, 11:05am

1. Eckerd Health Services, the company hired by HAS my insurance co., to regulate the meds, deemed it unnecessary for anyone to get more than 6 Zomigs a month. I read here that you could appeal that. After 2 weeks of phone calls and faxes and lost faxes between me, my DOC, my ins. co., and EHS....

I am the proud recipient of 60 zomigs a month!

2. The aforementioned HAS, deemed O2 "experimental" and "not covered" a few years back. I rolled over and bought my own in a little e tank for years. After seeing so many posts here about success in having ins.co.s pay for O2...I got pissed. After 2 weeks of phone calls and faxes between, my DOC, my ins. co., and 3 medical supply houses....

I got a giant tank and 4 smaller ones for traveling complete with 2 high flow regulators, non-rebreather masks and bubblers....covered by insurance.

I love this place.

Thanks
den

Den,

Sometimes you just have to bounce about on the ropes and then let 'um have it.

Nice upper cut.

Den,

Look into getting what they call a "Pigs tail" you can screw it to your large tank and transfer 02 to your smaller tanks.....beats having to get the small tanks filled so often. (Little more info) Its a stainless steel braided hose with male connections on each end, screw them in and open the bottles.......1 minute is all it takes.
