I found this video of a patient with an ONS that needed revision and had to fight insurance to get her revision surgery and finally got the denial reversed through her doctor who sent a 45 page letter that reversed the denial. I could not remember how to embed the video so I guess you will just have to click on the link and go watch it on youtube.

New Doctor
Well I got to meet the doctor in NC. He is awesome! He even talked about how there is about a 100% chance of needing revision because of lead migration and he tries to secure the leads very, very well. He is really nice and wants to do the surgery but says my biggest problem will be getting the insurance company to pay. He is submitting for preauthorization for a trial implant so we are going from there. I am pretty sure I will have to appeal. I am trying to stay hopeful though! Everyone there was very friendly and nice. I really like the doctor and staff. I actually talked to a fellow there and she answered questions I thought about after the doctor had left the room. She was very helpful and knowledgeable also. I will have to have some hair shaved off but I don't really care. Heck I would shave my whole head if it meant relief from this pain!
