If the pain hurts real bad, can't get up or walk. Your depressed and might commit suicide or kill someone without intentions, if someone push you. Go to Emergency, ask for a morphine shot. This might get you relief for while. Let the Emergency Doctor either look at your old images. They can at least get new X-Ray, might get a CAT scan. They will not do MRI. If you have copies of you MRI scans and other scans bring them. This will give you more evidence. Ask for a Expedited Appeal from any surgeon who will cooperate.
I was denied from regular Medicare for a Radio Frequency Ablation procedure, when it should have been approved. I actually went to Emergency when I saw my denial four days before procedure. You have to fight fire with fire to get any insurance to do this. My procedure was cancelled. I am telling the truth the pain could cause me to commit suicide. On Friday, I received the approval for the procedure which will be on September 10. It was originally scheduled for August 19. If I followed the normal way of appealing it could be months or next year maybe. Sometimes you have to be proactive +++++ and speak up. Insurance companies save money when then deny. This should get you ideas what you must do, will be praying for you.m!

above problem
I was denied regulat

I am getting a Radio Ablation.both sides of vertebra L3-L5. I have been denied all surgeries and have done PT and other treatments. My scoliosis rotates where they need to operate. This is my last option.
I will pray for you all that are trying to krelieve your pain. where you lost your life. Watching TV all day and night don't get you anywhere. Play card games on your tablet, computer, and smart phone gets your mind off pain. Using forums like this, reliable medical information on the internet, and many useful videos on YouTube. My procedure is September 10. I did a EXPEDITE APPEAL, got approved in less than week after first denial. One source says Medicare denies 53% of first claims!!!
