Petition your company to work out a better contract with the HMO. HMOs do not listin to doctors or patients, they listin to the companies purchasing them en masse. A 56 year old female had metastatic melanoma and Aetna would not pay for the experimental treatment that was probably her only hope. They said she needed to be in hospice. After she died, her work place director got gist of what happened from us and promptly fired them and went with another one. Aetna promptly lost at least 60 million in business just from the loss of their business. They do not want to lose that kind of money so many are starting to perk up their ears when the purchasing company complains.. By the way, this is just a taste of the delays iinherent in socialized medicine. (The average hernia repair in England puts you on a year long waiting list if the designated funds for your district has run close to its budget at the time the injury was incurred.)
