@gwen72 , I don't know of any funding programs, but insurance denials can be appealed. Sometimes the magic keyword is "peer-to-peer phone call" between the treating physician and a medical director at the insurance company. You can always request one, and it might circumvent the long, standard, circuitous delays of their typical appeal process. I've gone that route with success twice.
