Nathan Kirkland, a 36-year-old man in Omaha, Nebraska, was facing a life-threatening situation as he needed a liver transplant but his insurance company, Anthem Blue Cross Blue Shield, initially denied coverage. Kirkland took to social media to seek help and his story gained attention. His doctors insisted that a liver transplant was his best chance for survival. After the insurance denial, Kirkland’s doctor sent an appeal letter citing successful outcomes of similar cases.
Fortunately, after media attention and pressure from both the public and the news outlet First Alert 6, Anthem Blue Cross Blue Shield reversed their decision and approved coverage for Kirkland’s liver transplant. This news was delivered to the Kirkland family in a heartwarming moment. Kirkland’s surgery, scheduled to take place in Pittsburgh, can now proceed as planned. He expressed relief and gratitude for the change in the insurance company’s decision, stating that he is ready to fight and be there for his family. Valentine’s Day will now hold even more significance for the Kirklands as they celebrate this new development.
