[Fredslist] Growth Hormones and the Oxford Health Plan

[Paul Ribaudo]

My 8 year old son has been diagnosed with ISS (Idiopathic Short
Stature).  His doctor recommends growth hormone therapy.  Oxford Health,
my health insurance company has denied coverage for this very expensive
therapy.

Does anyone have experience with appealing Oxford's denial for coverage
as it relates to growth hormone therapy?

Any information or assistance would be DEEPLY appreciated.
