Title: wanted: cigna insurance approving fractionated proton
Post by: keithmcgowan on April 04, 2013, 09:21:47 am
Has anyone been approved for fractionated proton therapy with Cigna?  I have gone through 3 appeals and still no luck getting approval.  I've been told that it isn't medically necessary and is experimental.  I want fractionated over single dose because cells repair themselves after each treatment and also hearing is better preserved or improved in a very small number of cases.

If anyone has gone through this scenario, please respond.  I need treatment as soon as possible.

Thanks for your responses.
