Sadly, the state of health-care in the US allows our insurance companies to deny coverage for something that has been studied and FDA approved, saying "it's experimental" - even though it's not. There is an appeal process and some have been successful, but for the intractible insurance companies, it feels like we are tilting at windmills.

Good luck... let us know how it goes.
