i 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.

Oooh ... That reminds me that I need to find my receipt for the foot orthotics I bought last year in order to deduct them from my taxes.

On a related health care provider note. I recently (2 weeks ago) moved into a new apartment. 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.
