Very sarcastic and you're the first to comment on it.
My 'surprise' lung nodule has lead to two C/T scans, a lung scan and almost loss of my life-insurance policy. I had spent some time in San Joaquin valley in military and probably had mild cocciodomycoses infection.

I just went through this with the yearly Mammo. They called and said they wanted a couple more pictures. Went in for those, and they sent me to get a sonogram. After sweating it out for a day and a half, results were completely normal. Now, I will be the first to say a "normal" result is well worth going through all of that.
Then, yesterday I got the insurance statement. Neither the additional films nor the sonogram were covered in full. They pay for 1 mammogram per year.So... If I had decided against the additional films and sonogram and just waited until next year, then it showed something really bad, they would have paid in full?? What a crock of bull!!
DR, didn't mean to hijack your tread... Hope all works out for you.
Every insurance company has a Chief Medical Officer to whom you can appeal the decision to not pay. In your case, I would appeal the decision. Once the CMO or his staff have a chance to review your doctor's reasoning, they may reverse the preliminary decision. Have your doctor do a letter explaining why the other studies were performed to send along with your appeal. Check with the insurance company on how to file the appeal.

See, if you knew me well enough, and you do, you'd know that if that were my shirt it would have a smiley face.
