I can't beleive it! It has been just over a week since we visited the specialists in Denver. I got a call today from the drug company today advisinf that Tricare had approved 12 months of growth hormone therapy. It is standard proceedure to approve one year at a time. I was in total shock! I thought the cll was going to be to collect more information for the drug comoany to sumbit to our insurance. The lady I spoke with said that she was impressed that Tricare actually had Wyatt's condition listed as some insurance companies aren't even aware of the condition since it is so rare. So...once again, I have to thank my lucky stars that we are in the military and that we have Tricare insurance.
Incidentally, we were at Wyatt's regular pediatrician on Tuesday and he said that growth hormones are hard to get approved and that they cost between $15,000 - $20,000 per year. After our conversation I felt a little disheartend. BUT everything has worked out for now. So that is excellent news!
