The American Chiropractic Network Group in violation of the law
So as many of you know I wrote an appeal letter to the American Chiropractic Network Group (ACN). In April I received a denial to my appeal from the ACN. They stated in that letter I had 60 days to request the information they used in making their determination.
I wrote a letter on May 2 and faxed it to them on three different days. I have not received one rreply from them. It has been 30 days since that letter was sent the first time and I have yet to receive a reply from ACN to my letter. I now believe the ACN has crossed a line of the law by ignoring my letter. I have informaed the Ohio Department of Insurance of their blatant disrespect of the law.
The letter I wrote to the ACN follows

Attention: Maureen S.
Dear Maureen S
As per your April 8th denial letter sent to me I am requesting all documents, records, and all other information you used to make your decision concerning my denial of chiropractic care.
You will find this request to be well within the 60 days time frame you have set.
I would like to point out that there have been changes in my health since I could not follow Dr. Douglas Schumacher’s prescribed care for me due to your denial. I am now walking with a cane and have fallen several times because of my legs growing weak. If the ACN would consider new developments during the denial time frame I feel it would be beneficial to everyone especially the patients.
I also would like to know what you suggest as an alternative solution to chiropractic care for me since Joseph Carpino does not seem to have any and this is part of your mission statement to do so.
Thank you
