We have run into this problem each of the past 4 or 5 years. our insurance pays for 26 visits but when things go especially well I can't seem to keep it below every other week. We have to have both pdoc and therapist write letters to the insurers explaining the necessity for additional visits. The extensions have always been granted through a program called case benefits management. I'm afraid I don't know what exactly the docs have had to say in their letters. Try to talk to the person in the clinic you visit who handles their insurance claims. You are not the first person to have to jump through this particular hoop so s/he should be able to help you and your providers figure out what has to be said and how.
