Insurance denied revision

[MK1965]

Bridge,
My implant did not failed. Problem is I have significant pain by inflating it to 50-60%. Had pelvic mri and it was found that my right cylinder is not properly positioned in right crus. RTE is poking my right side of penis at penile base on top of suprapubic fat. I can’t have intercurse any more and it is almost 3 months since last intercurse.
My doc even suspected that it is subclinical infection and I finished 2 courses of antibiotics but pain is not getting any better. It is much stronger compared to last 2 months.
My doctor wrote letter of medical necessity for revision of implant but insurance denied it 3 times.
No idea, what to do?

Mk,
You have had a boatload of bad luck. Before my distal crossover was found I had checked into having a surgery done at the crus to fix an RTE. My left side was and still is much shorter than the right. Anyway fixing your RTE is much less invasive than a complete replacement. It is tricky so if you try it do find a qualified surgeon. Hang in there man the light is coming!!!!

Doug,
Since my RP for prostate Ca, my light is very dimmed, barely visible.
Nothing is going in right direction. I am tired of fighting Insurance.
I just want it it to be over. I am working for internationaly know hospital in SF Bay area but insurance is total crap. Insurance even did not approve me for robotic prostatectomy so I needed to file appeal to get approved for Da Vinci robotic surgery. Insurance never paid for any drugs for erectile dysfunction after prostate removal. I like my job working remotely and I do what I know the best but it might be time for job change.
