North Carolina boy, 12, with Kawasaki disease denied heart procedure by insurer

Rowan Lowry, a 12-year-old boy, urgently needs a stent procedure to address complications stemming from Kawasaki disease. His family faces an insurance denial categorizing the procedure as medically unnecessary. Undeterred, they plan to seek treatment at Boston Children’s Hospital, driven by their concern for Rowan’s deteriorating health and the fear of open-heart surgery. Determined, they vow to advocate fiercely for their son’s well-being despite the financial strain.
