Hi all,

I am trying to appeal the decision of the insurance plan I am with now, not pay for treatment for my CAH child at Cornell because Dr. New is not in their network.  So far I haven’t had much luck in convincing them that many doctors don’t understand this condition well and what he can get from Dr. New he won’t be able to get from any of the many pediatric enocrinologists whom they are willing to pay for.

I was thinking that if I’ll manage to bring them posts as official proof from others with this condition who see her, on what she has done for them and how she has helped them or even only what the major difference between her and other doctors who can also treat CAH is and that people come from all over the globe to see her because she is the worlds expert in this field, maybe it will help.

I know that I can do a google search on her name and I’ll find tons and tons of quality information here.  Maybe in fact, I will even print out some of the old posts for the staff at the insurance to see.  Mostly though, the previous posts contain private information which I’m not sure the writer would agree for me to show to others, besides they are also long and drawn and I wouldn’t want those reading it to get bored and drop everything right at the beginning.

Anyone who would be willing to share information and experience with Dr. New, I’ll greatly appreciate it.  Please try to make your post as detailed and short to the point as possible and POST NOW!...Time is ticking away!

Thanks in advance for all the inputs.

P.S. Advice, comments and questions are also very welcome but should rather be added to my post on the bottom: "HMO health insurance in NY".
