Dr. Warris Bokhari, CEO and co-founder of the insurance appeals platform Claimable, discusses how the product is helping patients with PANDAS and PANS diagnoses fight denied healthcare claims.  He explains the process of using Claimable to submit comprehensive appeals that cite medical research and leverage State laws, resulting in an 85% success rate on average.  Dr. Mark Pasternack, Chief of Pediatric Infectious Disease at Boston's Massachusetts General Hospital, shares his experiences about the challenges of getting IVIG treatments approved for his patients, highlighting a need for a solution like Claimable.  The discussion cover the impact of healthcare denials on patients and families, as well as the role that advocacy and media attention can play in driving change in the insurance industry.
