A Texas student paid $7,500 for a prosthetic foot after Aetna denied coverage, later reversing its decision post-graduation.
College student Gabrielle Guerrero, 21, of Burleson, Texas, faced repeated insurance denials from Aetna for a new prosthetic foot needed before her December 2025 graduation.
Despite her original prosthesis being covered, Aetna initially rejected the replacement, citing improper coding and claiming it was for comfort, not medical necessity.
With graduation approaching, her mother paid $7,500 out of pocket.
Days after the ceremony, Aetna reversed its decision after a peer-to-peer review, citing new information.
Advocates say such denials are common, with many patients struggling to access prosthetics despite medical need, and coverage varies widely by state and plan.
