Lisa,

So are you saying that because I have had past related injuries through w/c, that if I tried to get a major surgery done through my medical insurance that there would be a good chance I would get denied?

Boy, I hope not. Wouldn't the medical insurance have to prove that my present condition is caused from the past w/c injury? When my latest flair up started (3 years ago) I went to my doctor and said that it was not a work related injury because there was no one particular incident at my job that set it off.

Also, if my medical insurance was in denial and thought that it was a w/c injury, wouldn't they have denied payments on all my medical claims over the last 3 years. So far, they have paid in full everything Dr. visits, Epidurals, neurotomy, prescriptions, MRI's, discogram, and CT scan.
