Blue Cross denied the pill cam even after an appeal by OHSU, so my doctor appealed to the maker of the device, Given Imaging and they provided one for me at no cost! OHSU is donating the doctor time to read the results once this new study is completed and hopefully there will be more information and possibly an answer finally after 2 1/2 years of living sick without a diagnosis.
I just wanted to thank both Given Imaging and OHSU for working together and getting this done for me. I don’t know anyan answer finally after 2 1/2 years of living sick without a diagnosis. I just wanted to thank both Given Imaging and OHSU for getting this put together for me. I go in Monday to ingest the camera, this makes number 5(!) that I have done. I am praying that it will give my doctors enough information to move forward with a viable and working treatment solution for whatever is wrong with me.
I want to specifically thank Dr. Kandice Knigge, Heather Walz RN and Eryn (I don’t know her last name) they have been incredibly kind, caring and willing to work to get things done like this pillcam and never treat me like a “dumb patient” when I ask dumb questions.
