hi kathleen! sam equestion on this one. did you get this solved? If so, would you mind editing the post and cange the title to start with CLOSED REQUEST?
I'll add in to say that Biberk is who many advocates mention in the prior conversations on this topic as well.
And also double down on what Victoria said…
those advocates who are NP or PA tend to have the most complex challenges in figuring out insurance.
those who are MD/DO/DPT also may have some specific requirements
I don't and can't give any guidance on this topic; just sharing the themes from prior conversations.
Hi, Kathaleen! I hope you get a lot of response.

5. noel harrington (who also volunteers with the GNA team)!
Dalia,
First, i'm so incredibly sorry for what your family went through. NO ONE should ever be treatd that way, for any reason whatsoever.
Second, YES! THANK YOU for saying what is so often unsaid — that weight is about so much more than willpower.
My youngest was a competitive bicyclist. She regularly went, literally 100 miles in a day on her bike. When we were seeing docs about her post-exertional malaise and her orthostatic intolerance, EVERYONE tried to blame her weight. When i explained how fit the girl was, then they would blame overtraining and yet also somehow come back to it being due to her weight. Drove me CRAZY and drove her away from medical care for a long time.
also, here are advocates within 75 miles of that location that may have some guidance for you:

if you dont care about location at all, i can give you a MUUUCH larger list.
if you can let me know if she is a trifecta patient (eds/pots/mcas) that can narrow the list more specifically.
