Hello Everyone,

I was very interested in trying Urgent PC, but my insurance doesn't reimburse for it at this time. I spoke with a representative at Uroplasty (company that manufactures Urgent PC) and was told that my doctor could try to get pre-authorization. If that is denied, then we could try to appeal the decision, also submit a letter of medical necessity.

Has anyone been through this route and offer any advice or suggestions?
I would greatly appreciate any input on the subject.

Thank you,
KarenIC

If you have a doctor willing to work with you on this, it's worth the effort. I once had my insurance company deny coverage for TMJ surgery, but with physician support, was able to get the approval.

Keep trying, it could be worth the hassle. I did several sessions of PTNS using Urgent PC and it helped me greatly. It did however take more than 6 sessions before I saw improvement, but it was well worth that wait.

Hi Donna and Musiclover,

Thanks so much for your input. I made an appointment with my doctor for June. Hopefully, she'll be willing to work with me so I can try Urgent PC.

Take care,
