From what I understand, those of us who have insurance that covers plastics only need 6 months of documentation of whatever rashes we experience, and whatever treatment was undertaken to help, especially if it doesn't help at all. It seems odd that the ins. co. would cover everything else and not the place where the rash was the worst. I'd fight it, or at least appeal, but start with your doctor and make sure you have good back-up documentation first.
It sounds as though you have a clear case to warrant the plastics...maybe the insurance company just doesn't know how bad things are. Maybe if your doctor worded things a little differently, it WOULD go through!
Good luck!
