Family Fights Insurance Company – Part 2
Provoked by our first story, the Hamilton’s insurance company, AvMed, finally agrees to give them a hearing.
What chiropractics and massage therapy once were to the Western medical establishment, craniosacral therapy is to many insurance companies today. But, the Hamilton family feel they have found in this treatment an alternative to the invasive and scaring surgeries their 13-year-old daughter has endured for her severe scoliosis.
With a series of simple “no’s” from the the insurance company, Mariah is facing the prospect of a more complicated surgery for her condition. Armed with stacks of letters from doctors and specialists and research they’ve accumulated, the Hamilton’s prepare to present their case to AvMed in hopes that they will pay for her therapy.
Until now, the Hamilton’s have spent more than 11-thousand dollars of their savings for Mariah’s craniosacral therapy. AvMed, thus far, is only willing to pay for a spinal fusion operation that costs $250,000.
