FILE A COMPLAINT! ALL NUMBERS HERE...
Time to report the discrimination by insurance companies. Call your state Commissioner (local number below) and file a complaint. If we all start reporting this abuse, it can not go unanswered!! I found these numbers on the internet and tried mine CO and was given an option to file a consumer complaint.

Thanks for the numbers, Judith. I have a letter in the works to my congressperson and the FL state insurance commission. I will also use the phone number you provided. Thanks for all your hard work!

Thank you Judith. I was just told by my insurance company that even though they found the surgery medically needed -- there is an exclusion in my policy for this surgery. Even though both my surgeons office and I were told that there were no exclusions. So your information will be very helpful.
God Bless
