I am battling Aetna PPO to cover a diabetic DME (Continuous Glucose Monitor). I have followed every step/policy Aetna has asked of me to complete this appeal process. I am ANGRY that when I ask something of them, they do not even acknowledge my request! In my last appeal letter I specifically asked for 4 things from them if they denied my appeal again:
1. Study references they used to deny my appeal (URL format)
2. Full listings of financial and other relationships which any insurance companies and other payers (such as Medicare/Medicaid, Military “Tricareâ€Â, VA, etc.) have with their study authors.
3. Medical license numbers of their decision maker(s).
4. An appropriate legal contact’s address.
My questions is: Do I just go ahead with my next appeal, or do I call them up on not supplying me with the information that I requested and demand that they do it?
Thanks for your help
Marcy
