@@nikkimapr - what does "not allowed to have it" mean? That would be my first question at that come to Jesus meeting. I would want full explanation. Is there some kind of monetary limit on your insurance? Are they considering this elective? Who is the primary on the insurance? Does that play a role?

I got my plan administrator to call and find out. Cigna not sure why letter was sent stating he wouldn't be covered. But as long as he goes through the motions of 3 months nutrition as I did and deemed medically necessary he should be good to go. Had my plan admin in NY on phone last night handling, cigna had to call doc this am to let them know. Whoooohoooh
