Ben update

[JUDITH SMITH REID]

Ben is still in the hospital. The plan is to try to stabilize him so he can go home and then begin daily outpatient hyperbaric chamber treatments. 

 

The urologist is trying to get Medicare to cover it. He has to document that no other treatment has helped him and that's true. Medicare won't cover the treatment unless he's outpatient which is ridiculous because the center is three floors below him at the hospital and what better way to treat him then while he's hospitalized.😵‍💫

 

Thank you for all your messages and prayers.

 

Judy

I’m sorry that Medicare is so finicky in this case. I’m keeping Ben in prayer and also you, Judy. ❤️
