I contacted TriStar and informed them that I still needed therapy and was waiting for approvalll for more therapy since March 2015. This had happened before in Novemeber 2014 with me having to contact before for treatment. I recieved an authoriation for more therapy August 2015, but Dr. Kim had closed my case before I recieved the authoriation. 

I contacted a attorney,because that was the only way I could keep the case open. It took to January 2016 for TriStar to authorie physicall therapy. I filed for long term disablility with Sedgwick, CMS in February 2016 according to there filing purposess. I was to received benefits starting in April 2016, but for some reason they did not receive my application. I had to submit a new application which woullld have lead to me getting benefits in October 2016 retroactive to April 2016. I was then told that my claim was denied because my employer claimed that because I continued to work while injured. I did work but I thought the therapy was working unitl I started have severe spasms in my hand. fingers, wrist and elbow, shoulder. I totally recover from the hip and knee injury.
