HealthNet Coverage for PNE Surgery

Post by donstore »

I have HealthNet HMO insurance and I would like to know is anyone knows if they have ever paid for PNE surgery ?

Thank You,

Don
Mild to moderate PN for 5 plus years, pain controlled by lyrica and opiates.
Nerve block (unguided) 9/10 Dr. Jerome Weiss - sciatica for 5 months but got numb in painful perineal/scrotal area - he diagnosed entrapment - but no more cortisone for me
Potter MRI 5/11 - rt STL entrapment of PN at Alcocks
Consult with Dr. Hibner Feb. 2012
Bilateral inguinal hernias diagnosed by dynamic ultrasound - surgery on 6/20/13
Feeling a little better, a few more months will tell

Brad,
Healthnet paid for my MRI with Dr. Hollis Potter in NYC. Great to hear that your doctor has heard of PNE and was open to the info you brought him. That doesn't happen every day.

Don-

How did you get health net to pay for the MRI? I am having a problem with that right now.
