hopes are up...
Jan. 7th, 2002 02:18 pmi called AETNA. the skin biopsy at Johns Hopkins is covered, so is the doctor who does it. i just need a referral from my PCP, in addition to the 'script written by my neurologist.
the carpal tunnel splints will be covered, as well.
and my foot orthotics are covered on a case-by-case basis. the ortho surgeon just has to call and say, "YES, these are a medical necessity." and POOF! they'll be covered.
:D
now, i hope this all works out. i was really dreading scrimping for the foot plates.

I'm waiting for two Explanation of Benefit forms from dentist appointments in December in order to claim the rest of my flexible spending money. I call up Cigna and wait on hold for forever to get to a claim agent. It turns out that I can't change my address with Cigna that the request has to come through my employer. That doesn't make much sense to me.
