Yes, I have been trying since I was 18. I am now 22 I had my surgery last monday!! my doctor tried everything to help me out and some people in his ofice werent coorporating. I finally hot approved you just have to fight the insurance company like really fight and dont let them tell you no! I had a nmi of 40 and was a trauma patient...I have a few medical problems. Just keep teying and dont get discouraged. If you have to get your doctor to appeal it it may help...
