Yeah I'm getting the run around from my insurance company they are absolutely refusing to pay for it even if I switch to ppo.

If your job offers a different insurance you should call them first to see if they will cover it then switch. I work you luck

Hey my name is Anna, I'm new as well. My sucky INS won't pay either:( I'm getting care credit( medical credit card). I'm sure LA has to have something similar. I'm in Texas.

I spoke with my insurance company even if I switch to ppo they still won't pay for it. But I'm going to call Medicare credit and two other ones somebody has to approve me I was just diagnose with type 2 diabetes 6 months ago and I stay sick a lot I feel like this is an attempt to save my life

I use to have BCBS and at that time if your doctor fought for you and it was medically necessary it could be covered. Have they tried to appeal?
