>>>I whole heartedly agree since many insurance companies will cover Viagra, but not something like this!! You do have one altertantive that you could try. I called my insurance company and asked about coverage before I got the prescription (of course mine does not cover it either). They told me that there is an appeal process where the doctor writes a letter stating that it is medically necessary. I would think that the doctor could state the medical condition and the mental anguish in the letter. I don't know if this will work, but it's worth a shot.
