casey311 Posted April 7, 2009 Report Share Posted April 7, 2009 So I went to Dr. Fouad last month and she ordered cardiac rehab for my POTS and also because I had a pacemaker implanted last August. She said this would help and they've seen really good results with the POTS patients from this. That was her only recommendation besides the support stockins. Well I've been trying to get in and I just got a call from my rehab facility saying it was denied from my insurance. They said I could pursue it further and it might help but the insurance said it wasn't an approved diagnosis. Has anyone had this happen and how did you end up getting your approved? I just don't know what to do considering this was the main recommendation she had and now I'm at square one again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mkoven Posted April 7, 2009 Report Share Posted April 7, 2009 You will need your doctor to write a letter of medical necessity. I did manage to get it approved with some persistence. I would call Dr. Fouad's office and ask if they can provide this. The tricky thing is that I don't know if there are yet published studies that can be pointed to. For the specifics of how to do cardiac rehab with dysautonomia, you might want to do a search on the forum. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
