[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 201526, member: 1233"] The EEG is done at our hospital. Just got a call from insurance and they will NOT cover it - not enough justification because it was ordered by a regular doctor. So I can either pony up $4000 or skip the EEG. Considering I just got a call from the doctor office about the Vit D shot and the forms I could find are NOT documented to help when the Vit D level is this low, I have to pay for that out of pocket too. Or my bones will start to collapse. The endo thinks that whatever happened -seizure or whatever they are calling it- it largely in relation to the Vit D deficiency changing how my body processes things. Apparently my reg doctor called and spoke with the endocrin doctor and they both think the Vit D is responsible in large part, a medication interaction in a secondary part. So, I am scraping up $$ to pay for the shot first, the EEG second. I do have good insurance, but apparently I finally found something they won't cover. (First thing in 4 years, and we have had some major medical stuff with each kid, so this is still pretty good, I guess.) I am postponing the EEG for a few months. When I have the $ I will get it done. Susie [/QUOTE]
