Hello Momlife91. My insurance covered both of my decompression surgeries. I just recently had them in june. Chiari isn't something easy to deal with,so I will pray for your son's strength and yours as well. I'm 31,and my CM 1 wasn't discovered until April of this year. So I've spent a lifetime thinking I was going crazy with the migraines and getting dizzy,clumsy. Even as a child, I was very clumsy and kept a bad headache. But test were NEVER done. Doctors would tell my mom it was hormones. So good luck to you and your son.
Hi...things have changed a lot since I had my surgery and most of the Chiari specialists did not work with INS.....now they are...but something you will need to ask the Dr you are going to ....not only to see if they work with INS but if they work with your INS....ALSO make sure you ask about the hospital and ALL the other Drs that will be on staff just one little thing ( not so little) I was not aware of back when I had mine.....
