Thanks kitty , you are rite dr SwArtzmann. Is the man too see, I have had the 10 day out patient and one little tune up. That was back in sept of last year. I've been waiting to get my ss or workmans comp to pay for the next one cause it is soo expensive.less than an. Hour away from me too. I'm see n his protege dr Phillip gettson now in cherry hill.

If you went to trial and were awarded open medical then you definitely had a shot at getting WC to pay...which can be a mixed blessing. Financially, it can take a big burden off of you...but you will be more limited in what you can do for treatment (possibly) as you will always have to get approval prior to any new treatments, which can delay things and cause you additional stress. I don't know where you live and what the specific laws are there...but you may be restricted to which doctors you are allowed to see in order for WC to pay, subjected to IMEs, etc. Don't get me wrong...if they should pay then they should pay...but just be aware that sometimes (depending on the company and all) WC can be SUCH a headache. Stay focused on doing what you need for your health and making sure that you have the best quality of life possible. Good luck with SS and with WC...I hope that things turn out well for you.
