Hi @robpara
Interesting. Appreciate the update. They (Tactile) denied me initially, it took months and then I appealed another two times and was denied again but a lot faster.

I finally received a message from Tactile that my request was denied. I clearly misunderstood something during the home visit. I was quoted a dollar amount for the system that had insurance applied. Sounds like the appeal process is a waste of time. Is there anyone out there that has success with ordering this?

@roblem I guess my advice to others is get an honest estimate of all the upfront costs, not just the equipment but the qualifying appointments along with the likelihood of getting approved before moving ahead.
I probably spent a $1-2,000 on unnecessary appointments. The PT person seemed surprised that I came back in for a follow up appointment.
And here I sit without anything. I don’t feel good about how that went down. I hope others have a better experience.
