.....I know quite a bit about PET scans, and I am shocked that yours was not covered...at any point in the past 10 years. i suspect you had a very crappy insurance company. But the exception does not prove the rule. There is not better coverage of PET scans today because of Obamacare. To the contrary, the general screening for early detection is being all but eliminated. It makes one worry since i know they are smart enough to know that this would cost them more in the long run......unless the don't plan on covering it for many people down the road that are presently having it covered.
Also, the game of resubmission of claims is the same as it always was (and i agree thatit is stupid), but the bills almost always get covered. usually it is a matter of how the bill was submitted - proper codes, etc. ....another ridiculously complex government spawned bureacracy.
