My son has severly flat feet. After doing much research, we found a locale hospital and physician that would do an outpatient procedure (http://www.medicalnewstoday.com/medicalnews.php?newsid=29846) to correct his flat feet. Since he is required to be non-weight bearing on the foot for a few weeks, they are done one at a time. In December he was able to get the left foot done and we set up an appointment do get the right one done. A day before his scheduled surgery, the doctor called and said the hospital will not allow him to do the surgery because the hospital is not being reimbursed enough for the procedure. After calling the hospital, they said my insurance did pay for the procedure, the CPT code they bill does not reimburse them what the procedure costs. My son has one foot corrected and one foot not. There is no other hospital in town that will do the procedure. I am wanting to take legal action to get this done for him. Does anyone have any advice on this issue? Thanks
