The Saga Continues...

Along with my insurance company, I also sent my letter of appeal to the state Department of Health Services. Yesterday, I received a letter in response. Here is what it said:

Dear Ms. Nelson:

We received your formal grievance regarding United Healthcare of Wisconsin's denial of your request for neurostimulator trial.

We will request that UHC provide us with all of the medical records and any other important information related to your case. Once we have the information, we will review the information and make a decision within 30 days of the time we receive the requested information from the HMO. You will receive a written response of the decision.

If you have any questions, please contact us at yadda, yadda, yadda..."

Hooray! I'm so excited about this! I know it's not an approval, but...it's one step closer!

I'm takin' down the Man...one grievance at a time...
