Trfogey- you are correct. I misunderstood. I believe he still has medicare and his POA switched his private insurance. Would we try to get both insurances to cover the full cost or can we only go with one of them? I dont understand how insurance works. I got your PM and just wanted to tell you how much I appreciate all you are doing to help.
I'm not much of an expert on multi-insurer claims myself, but the vendor or dealer that will actually sell you the equipment will certainly know the best way to file claims so that you get the most out of your insurance coverage. You can also apply for grants from your local ALSA and MDA chapters to cover some of the costs that the insurers don't cover.
If you are not already a member of the Patients Like Me website, now might be the time to join just to ask these questions over there. More eyegaze users over there, and also more folks that are familiar with the insider knowledge to get things done in the American health care system.
Kelly- you are right. this is amazing how much you all have jumped up to help out my PALS. there are no words to express what this means to me. and to Ray. Once we get this taken care of, I will let HIM be the one to come up with the right words to appropriately thank all of you. You are giving us hope and a chance at a new life together.
Everyone- Im speechless. I would love to kiss every one of you right now. you all deserve an award. much love. and many thanks.

Liz, he may be your PALS, but he is our brother. We may bicker and feud around here, but when the rubber meets the road, you both are family. Just wish we'd all heard about this sooner. Six years without a voice is way too long.
