Hi Kim,
Thanks for the positive thoughts. My appeal arrived in Albany today so hopefully I will have a positive decision in 30 days. This whole appeals process is a real pain in the back, literally. I'm a very stubborn person; this is something that I won't give up on easily. At 32, I shouldn't feel like 82......

I wish you & Dean all the best on your appeal. I noticed that the state of Connecticut has a Department of Insurance that you can appeal to if your healthcare provider denies coverage. Look into that to see if it's an option for you.
I can't remember where I got this link from, but it's a starting point. http://www.kff.org/consumerguide/7350.cfm
