THANKS VERY MUCH.
Going to check out those links.

Well, I checked out both links. Very complicated but it's clear to me that it's all about Alan not being a diabetic. Nothing we can do about that. The plan states what the plan states.

When we get the hearing date, I'll go with him bringing proof that they paid in the past, and they also paid for his shoes in 2009. Don't know what the ALJ will say when he sees that they did indeed pay for shoes (even though they were not supposed to (as they put it).

Maybe he'll side with Alan, maybe not. Nothing more I can do except contact the ACLU.

I think I just might do that.

P.S. THANKS VERY MUCH

Thanks for posting this ,been sitting around doing what,use to drive my husband crazy, I worry about everything even if I don;t know if I need to be.

Almost always things work out...For instant I had a appointment with my Nuro about staying on the IVIG,but I was in burn and wound ICU for venostassis injury.. I asked the icu nurse to call the neuro to call the dr.,who to ask for and could she make a appointment,there hard as some of you know to get into. well she called forgot who she should ask for and why,even
through it was was written down,oh well.

Anyw I have compression hose made in Gerymany every 6 months because
rhey feel they help better with the venotasis ulcers. I pay for these but told the Dr. he good taste was breaking me,then for the cmt they want to straighten my frrt,the shoes are paided for because of diabetethes ere paided for,I don't know about theorthonics yet//

Mel so far i've had Drs. help me,but i've bee n lucky,but lately the rules keep
changing,just take the biggest stack of med, papers you have,and like Glen
said depends on how the jude feels that day,and C is right be glad you you got a hearing,but oh boy it makes you tired,after all stress makes you sick.

Good luck to us all and good grief here we are doing there job. Sue
