Hi! Not sure if I'm responding on time or too late but I had my PFO closure done at the Edward Hospital in Naperville with Dr. McKeever. He was quite good. I havent had any issues after the closure...
My insurance claim got denied once again. The hospital authority has been very nice to be in touch with CIGNA on a regular basis. It's just very frustrating that they accept that they misadvised but...
So, unfortunately for me, my claim got denied once again :( I'm just getting so frustrated and stressed - it's unbelievable!...
Hi JR, I've been feeling much better. Of course, I'm more alert to my body now than I've ever been. The stroke was a wake-up call. I hope your procedure goes well. I'm feeling fine. I haven't had any...
JR - I've responded to your post and I"m still waiting for them to make a decision. I had 2 professionals (cardiologlist/neurologist) confirm that this was the only solution to avoid a future stroke....
Hello Everyone, I haven't been on this forum for a long time... But, I'm back. I am still working with the hospital and their billing office to appeal my claim. They denied it 2 times already. It's...
Unfortunately, I only get 2 options where I work - Cigna & United Healthcare. I was told Cigna is better but it seems like they're not. When I called them to find out why it was denied to begin...
I don't have any idea why they denied it. I have Cigna and I believe if you have a condition then it's approved but due to the whole FDA non-approval it's in limbo land right now. The doctor has sent...

Hey Amy! What a coincidence!! Since moving to the US, I've always wanted to go to Disney World and since this whole PFO issue I've reconsidered things I wanted to do and am going on my Disney...
Hi Amy, How did your appointment go? Mine is on April 29 and I am hoping all goes well. It's just a scary feeling coz' any weird sensation makes me feel I'm getting a stroke again. Please update me...
Hi Amy, I read your other posts and am sorry that you're having trouble with the PFO closure. I will pray that everything goes well for you. I had my PFO closure done on Jan 29 and have to go back...
Oh yeah, my reaction to the Plavix was very bad - I was bleeding internally under the skin. Not a good site. I'm glad I'm over it. I'm very happy to say that I have recovered from the stroke too and...
Hello Everyone, I've been reading your discussions ever since I had my stroke on Dec 18. I didn't know what happened or what caused it at that point and was pretty sure I was dying soon. Thank God...
