Cathyjp,
I haven't been checking in here as regularly, as my husband is back to living life again. However, we are still very much in the process of fighting for reimbursement from HealthNet on his two level procedure. As a matter of fact, we are currently awaiting a decision on our first level appeal. They have two and a half more weeks to give us an answer. This round, I followed an outline that has been circulated here, which was so helpful. My appeal was just short of 200 pages. This sounds daunting, but keep in mind that the bulk of that was just Dean's medical records. It was really not bad to put the file together. I'd be happy to share my info. with you and can do so here or through reg. email. I wouldn't have been able to do what I did without the help of the people here, and would like to return the favor.
