Hi everyone-
I just wanted to provide an update on the HBOT class action project. I am happy
to report that we have received a lot of calls from families that would be
interested in joining our potential class action, and we are trying to help
everyone that calls.
For anyone who did not see our original post, or who may be a new member, here
is a little bit of information on what we are trying to do.
I'm an attorney working on a volunteer project to help families get Hyperbaric
Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) recognized and reimbursed by Medicaid and private
insurance carriers for children (and adults) with cerebral palsy, brain injury,
and other similar diagnoses.
We are exploring a federal class action to attempt to compel payment for HBOT
for all class members (whether it will be the first time treating with HBOT or
reimbursing those who have already incurred HBOT bills in the past).
We are currently trying to establish a class. We are looking for as many class
members as possible that would be interested in joining this potential class
action.
Since this is a pro bono (volunteer) project, there will be no legal fees or
cost to any of the class members. It will also not require any time commitment
or active participation—we will be doing all the leg work for you!
We invite and encourage anyone that has not yet called to contact us toll free
at 1-800-690-4033.
We feel that the more people who join this effort, the greater our chance of
succeeding, so please feel free to repost this on other groups, and to spread
the word to anyone who may be interested.
Thank you so much for your assistance, support, and your patience, as these
legal efforts take time, and we have limited resources. We are looking to help
as many families as possible, and look forward to assisting you!
