We will keep you in our thoughts and prayers. I know this is devastating, but don't give up. Everything will happen when it is supposed to as infuriating as that is sometimes.

Fight, Fight, Fight, with the ins. Don't leave it up to the Doctor's office.
Call the insurance over and over, get your policy that states exactly why your denied and if it is medically necassary and etc. you fight. I got mine approved before the Doctors office did. I have previously worked for a M.D. as an office manager so I have experience, but don't leave it up to the Doctor to get it approved. You have to do the footwork.
Hang in there.
