Danbury, Connecticut. (WTNH) - Repeated rejections by three insurance companies led to Dr. David Kloth to intervene in Matt Cote's case.
Dr. Kloth, at Connecticut Pain Care in Danbury, said, "Everyday, I probably see about 10 patients who are being denied health care by their insurance carrier."
The eight year battle took a toll on both doctor and patient.
...
"If one would look at the money," Dr. Kloth pointed out, "This insurance company spent on office visits, epidurals and his Percocet the last 8 years, it actually cost them more money, than had they paid for the surgery back in 2004 when we originally recommended it."
