For the past two weeks we have been battling the insurance company to cover simultaneous bilateral cochlear implants and we finally won!! After involving my husband's employee benefits manager, more than one UHC manager, the UHC account representative for my husband's employer, Let Them Hear, our doctor, family and several friends we appealed and the decision was overturned. It was definitely an emotional rollercoaster!
In the end Baby Girl will get her CIs as scheduled on September 26th. Yahoo! Thank you all for your many prayers and positive thoughts. Mom...I can't thank you enough for everything you did from daily phone calls to research to just being a mom. Thank you!

A definite roller coaster! I'm glad the insurance company relented in time, so that her surgery didn't get delayed. Battling insurance companies is never fun!

I thought I had cried all the tears of joy with our recent family events. Now I read about yours and there's more tears of joy... and more thanksgiving to our Lord for His grace of answered prayers. Thank you for sharing your battles, both the defeats and the victories for Courtney. I am so happy for your family and I will pray my humble thanks again.

We have UHC now too. Hope they learned their lesson and won't give us a hard time if we ever need to go this route!
