I am writting on my newly injured 25 year old brother. He is being diagnosed at a C3 Quad, he spent 50 days in ICU @ Arrowhead Regional Medical Center. Due to him being about an hour away, we asked that he be transfered to a local facility closer to home (once he was stable). This past Saturday he was transfered to a sub acute hospital, who we believe will not provide the adequate rehabilitation he requires and would like for him to be transfered to Rancho Los Amigos in Downey. I am getting the run around with Anthem Blue Cross, because they are not contracted. They asked me to file an appeal in order to get a Letter of Agreeement between these two faciliites. I would like to know who to turn to in order to get help with these situation. This is all new to us and we feel that he is not getting the adequate care to help him get thru this.
Thank you for your help
