Insurance agent? You disingenuous little !@#$ , you. You know damn well that insurance agents have no say in this outcome. It is the insurance company's advisory board that reviews these cases. They have determined that the procedure that the girl wants is experimental and that they will not pay for it. They will pay for the more expensive procedure that is more conventional, thus negating any comments here about their greed. You add nothing to this board. You should just go away.

Nanker Posted December 16, 2017 Share Posted December 16, 2017 Probably because he'd make more money doing the speculative, unproven surgery. That, or he'd get his name in a journal article about his pioneer work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The person paying the bills decides. Kind of like your mother when you want the new expensive Xbox for Christmas and she tell you no. You'll stick with the one you have for now. Again, I suggest you learn how insurance works. Edited December 16, 2017 by Chef Jim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doc Posted December 16, 2017 Share Posted December 16, 2017 The effectiveness of the laser surgery has not been established. Meaning it might work or it might not. If it works, that will be borne-out over time and then covered. She likely will not die in the meantime because of her epilepsy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
