What is the name of your state? IN
1998 my husband had an aurota anuerysm. Medtronics was testing a new stent which depended on him to have follow up checkups every year for the rest of his life, for which Medtronics would pay. After the stent was approved by the government, Medtronics stopped paying for these visits. He had had two checkups that required further surgery. Now the visits are once a year. We do not know what happened to the twice yearly. We can't afford to pay for these visits and we said so from the beginning. Each visit involves the hospital, radiology, and the doctor so the bills are high. Now the hospital and xray co. have sent bills to the CA. Senex last letter said they were "referring us to legal counsel with recommendation to file suit." We sent certified lettes in March to Medtronics and copies to everyone involved along with a copy of pay stub from my husband's job.
We have heard nothing from Medtronics and it's time for another yearly visit which without leaves for more chances for early death. How do I handle this CA and we are getting letters from a CA for radiology. All OC know the story. They should press Med., not us.Thank you for any help.
