Help with LE Activist

cgoody

Hello All:

A am currently in PA and having a hard time trying to get my Jovi-Pak covered through the PA Access Program (Medi-caid).  Does anyone know of a activist that can help me manuever through this mess to get this covered?  I did not have a problem in CA through Kaiser, but the fitters here do not want to deal with this.

I appreciate your help with this matter.

Bob Weiss, who is on the boards as lymphactivist does this for people.

Here's his profile

I used to work for a medicaid HMO, and often people had to file appeals, and letters of medical necessity are important--also, educate the people, send the position papers from the NLN and the handout from Lance Armstrong Foundation

Links to all the NLN position papers are on the home page.

Let us know how you make out.

Thank you very much Kira.  Have not been on the board in a while.  Recovering from my 2nd reconstruction surgery.

Happy holidays to all!
