CIGNA, the insurance company that provides the Republican National Committee (RNC) with its insurance policy denied the claims of a six year old girl requiring ear implants.
thinkprogress reports “Madison Leuchtmann of Franklin County, MO was born with bilateral atresia (she lacks ear canals in both ears). In order to hear, she wears a special device on a headband that allows her to make out sounds.”
“Due to her growth she will soon require a new hearing implant to be able to recognize sounds. Her hearing and speech therapist warns that “if she doesn’t get her implants by age seven, she’s not going to be able to blend her words. … She won’t be able to hear herself [talk].” Madison’s pediatrician, Dr. Randall Clary, also insists that without the implant, the girl may never be able to hear again.”
“Cigna, has issued “one denial after another,” flatly refusing to cover the $20,000 bill for the implant.”
“Dr. Clary also told Fox 2 that he sees these sort of denials “on a weekly basis”, for necessary procedures.
I wonder how many of the RNC’s claims were denied by CIGNA.
