Jane I would get the info from the Ins company and what codes they want etc and when you get out to TX go yourself and talk to the billing person there.
I found TBI lacked a LOT in some of the office staff there and especially in the billing area of the office.
They are not keen to help ANYONE get coverage from what I have seen and heard and its up to you to get what you need to advocate for yourself.
This is one reason I went to Bitan to have my surgery rather than Blumenthal. They would give me no help atall to try to work on my appeals with the ins company when I was trying to get approval for ADR.
Good luck to you I Hope that you can get this resolved
