Now for the real irritant in my life. The ACN, American Chiropractic Network, Do NOT confuse this with the ACA, American Chiropractic Association. The ACN is hired by United Health Care to basically refuse chiropractic treatments. The ACN once again has denied me treatments because they do not see an improvement in my back. Gee did I miss something in thinking that chiropractic treatments align the back and keep me walking? Could it really replace the missing discs in my back? Straighten my curvature permanently???? What part did I miss, with the vertebrae in my neck pushing against the spinal cord and the one in my lumbar L4 that is twisted and pushing against the spinal cord, that this could be fixed permanently?
Did I mention that the ACN doctor (I use that term loosely) Joseph Carpino refused last year to look at the MRI report of even the film from the MRI? The ACN with also not discuss anything with the patient.
I wrote letter after letter to United Health care, OCLC, (Online Computer Library Center who the insurance is through), Department of Insurance of Ohio, Department of Labor Relations, and many more and basically was told nothing could be done. Funny thing though that when I had another chiropractor say he worked on me at the end of the year the ACN gave me unlimited treatments.
We pay for 24 treatments a year. I have had about 14 to date. Now I am not asking for more than I am supposed to have just what I have paid for.
Did I also mention that I have a prescription from my medical doctor for chiropractic care???? I really do not want to end up in a wheel chair if it can be prevented with something as simple as chiropractic treatments.
My treatments are about the only thing that is keeping me mobile.
So I have been working with the ACA and have given permission for the ACA to use my case in helping to take the ACN out.
Can you tell I am just a wee bit tired of the Bull Shit from Insurance Companies playing doctor when they don’t even have a medical degree to do so?????
