Baby Parker's Dad
Hi all,
My son recently had a valve replacement, he had his mitravalve replaced. He turned 1 on February 2nd. He is in the hospital now, but we are hoping for him to be returning home next week. The doctors are currently working on his drugs to get his INR levels stable before then send him home.
Apparently my insurance will not accept the claim for a home testing machine for Parker's INR until they my hospital makes many requests to validate the claim. Until we receive a home machine my wife and me will have to take Parker to the hospital to have his blood drawn 2-3 times a week. Parker is an extremely hard stick.
Does anyone know how to speed up the process with the insurance company or know of a program or a way that I could acquire a home testing machine to help save my son a lot of pain and misery?
Thank you so much,
Ken

This is my first post, I am thrilled that there is a message board out there for my son's needs, I have been reading the postings on valve replacement for the last 4 hours.
