Default Blue Cross Payment 3-level Activ-L

I have a client who's spine was a complete train wreck. He went to Zeegers in earlier this year and had a 3-level Activ-L. I don't mean that he just needed a 3-level.. his spine was really messed up.

Because of the mailing for the Zeegers party tomorrow, we reconnected.

Reminder: Federal employee with Blue Cross Medical Insurance. On inquiry prior to surgery, I was told that some of the costs in Germany might be covered; I should submit all medical costs; but most certainly, I would have to appeal. (Mark redacted actual dollar amounts, but he received well over 40K in reimbursement.)

So, I sent in the claim. I did not request reimbursement of expenses for GPC, airfare, hotel, etc., just medications and treatment. On the initial request, with no appeal. I still get goose bumps, I am so astounded! So, I am out about $8,000. This sort of good fortune has always eluded me.
He'll come and post more and has offered to share his well-prepared case if needed.

With any luck, he'll be at Zeegers' party tomorrow.

Mark
