Dealing with insurance can be tricky. Try contacting your local Variety Club. They give grants for equipment that insurance denies. They just need the denial letter with the application.
I would submit it again.
With my DD (she has a cp), I also don't trust her in bed because she has fallen out. I have her bed against one wall and with a toddler rail on the other side. However, every night I put many pillows and stuffed animals along the side of her bed plus her fluffy rug and sometimes blankets. On the rare occasion she has fallen out now, she falls onto cushioned fluff instead of the hardwood floors... when this does happen it doesn't even wake her up. At the end of her bed I have a chest that is slightly lower than her bed so it acts as a big step and extends the bed.
...You could also get foam bed mats and layer them in front of his bed to act as a cushion.
take pictures of the physical damage to your child... it may help sway the insurance into your favor.
Hugs mama! I'm sorry this has happened...can you convert it back into a crib for the time being until you get it approved?
I don't know where my reply went! Sorry if it comes through twice.
We left my son in the crib until he was 5. He is small for his age and he seemed comfortable and happy. Then, we gave him my other son's race car bed (twin size) and put a matress only (no box Spring) in it so that it is lower inside the bed. It gives it a recess of about a foot. He can climb out safely when awake and even though he is a restless sleeper a lot of the time, has never fallen out. This might be an option for your little boy.
