From what we understand each letter was a review of a different "procedure"-each procedure has a standard amount of days in the hospital. The first letter was a review of the PAO procedure and standard is 4 days-however the PAO procedure review did not include the epidural. The second letter was a review of the epidural which added 2 more days. With the complication and the follow up procedure (blood patch) they gave us several more days! Basically, in the end everything turned out to be fine!
Good News!
Great news! Two letters came today from our insurance company. Looks like they are covering all 11 days of my stay which is awesome!
