Since when has "Physical Therapy" been considered "Experimental?"

Advertisements [?]

One of my kids has had a chronic pain disorder for quite some time and has gone to Physical Therapy for years. My health insurance has always paid for it, as it's necessary, recommended for his condition and brings his pain level down a few notches to a bearable level.

Anyway, I received the EOB's from the past few visits and they refuse to pay.....stating that "Physical Therapy is an experimental procedure." :wtf:

Regardless, now I have to PROVE that it's necessary, even though they've paid for it for years. I'm growing very tired of appeals (and losing) as well as paying more and getting less.

Thanks, Aetna. :grr:
