caths
unfortunately medicare workers are just a bunch(for the most part, my apology to the good people) of paper pushers looking to dump anyone they can. Contact your senators, congressional reps in your area. If you need my help, I will assist you in causing a shit storm. When the people at medicare hear your name, they will run for cover. Let me know. Good luck.

Need more info
What happened? When? What is your level of injury? What is medicare's reason for denial? You have to give us more info before anyone can help!

i'm a t-12. I have been using the 'o neil catheters. They are disposable after use.
They flat out refused to budge on this issue. I am going to raise a shitstorm monday morning. I really appreciate and do not take for granted the help and support of our fellow sci friends! |
