Anthem declared gel knee injections medically unnecessary as of 12/1/2017. I have been told to have my provider file an appeal, but I am wondering if this is a waste of time.
@A myRAteam Member, Have your doc file an appeal!! My health plan tried to take me off of Orencia and a couple of other medicines, but my docs all knew exactly what to do and I had NO HICCUP AT ALL in staying on my medicine.
And I had good results from synvisc injections in my knees too.
SO DO HAVE YOUR DOCS FILE AN APPEAL!!
Let us know how you make out. Please don't give up.
Appeal to the insurance company.
Thank you. I will try it.
Thank you Madelyn. I am trying that and I posted a question to AskAnthem's Facebook page. They told me to email (Email address can only be seen by the question and answer creators) I received a call after I sent the email. The woman I spoke to has to get more information and will call me back. So, I guess I wait and see..
