How do I get my ins (UHC) to pay for an occipital nerve block...please help...

Hi,

Your doctor can write you a 'letter of medical necessity' for your proceedure. I'm not sure why your insurance company won't pay for this, but I would start the appeal process if needed. But start with the doctor's office to see if they will or have written that letter.

We also have a discussion forum you may want to look into, ask this question and get other useful information. To get to the forum, look for the orange box marked "Manage" and click on the Migraine forms link. Because our forums are maintained by a third party, you'll need to register for the forum. We hope to see you there.

Good luck

Nancy
