appeal process
I faxed a letter to both the neurologist and pediatrician asking for help with the appeal for the Katie Beckett waiver. I also faxed them the denial letter. I thought it would be best to fax the letters rather than call. This way I can be sure to say everything I want and they can look at it when they have the time. I tried to be as detailed as possible. In my letter I asked the Neurologist about having an MRI done in Athens. I asked the pediatrician if Athens does the MRIs under general anesthesia, if he would be willing to refer us to an endocrinologist, and if he thinks it is worth getting Eve's ears checked out to see if balance problems are impacted by her vestibular system. I'm keeping my fingers crossed that both men respond quickly.
