Fractured Sacral and osteoporosis why wont insurance let me have surge
I've been dealing with a fractured Sacral for 7 months, I also found out I have osteoporosis and thats why its not healing. Unless I have special screws put in on each side to pull together. But Humana won't authorized. How am I to live not being able to move, walk etc. Im only 68 and otherwise healthy, but since this happened I ready to put my gun to my head and end it all. Before fracture I woke up early everyday and was doing active things all day t I ll bedtime. Now I cant. The pain is so severe its really affecting my sanity. Im asking for someone to help me and my surgeon get through to the insurance its medically necessary

dcjac1957,
I sorry you are experiencing so much pain with the non-healing sacrum along with with the insurer. Some offices are more adept at handling these denials foisted upon those less able to defend themselves.
AI was actually pretty helpful

it is mostly a problem your doctor has to manage. But many times when challenged the person hired by the insurance company (usually not a doctor) will yield. Meanwhile you suffer needless stress and delay of service.
The denial should include information about why or what they expect you to accomplish first. They like you to use conservative (cheaper) measures first.
Are you on osteoporosis medications.
I hope loriesco responds.
