I think you can fight insurance. It is always worth a try. I agree
that most insurance compaines do not think you will fight it. I have
heard that military insurance covers IVF, isn't this more of an elective
than the health of a body? Endo is not understood by many. Most people
do not realize that it can be like a cancer that spreads through your
body crippling vital organs and functions.
Have you thought about contacting your congressman or a news agency for
help? Endo is just starting to gain a little ground in Washington DC.
There are people that trying make it recognized as a disability. Just a
thought.
Good luck!
