Insurance co. denied humira for me, have to write an appeal letter
Humira isn't approved by the FDA for ulcerative colitis. I had great results with remicade but after 18 months developed drug induced lupus. My gastroenterologist and rheumatologist both recommended humira. All my records were submitted but Highmark denied it. I have 6 months to appeal and I’m considering getting professional help to write the appeal letter but don’t know how to find someone trained for this. Has anyone done this?
1. Ask your gastroenterologist if (s)he will write something
I do medical transcription and one of my clients is a gastro practice. They write appeals letters for their patients quite often. Call your doctor and tel him/her what happened.
