MIDVALE, Utah -- A Utah woman says an insurance snag left her without a portion of her skull for months.
Briana Lane went almost four months with nearly half of her skull sitting in a hospital freezer following surgery to save her life after a car accident.
The hospital didn't initially consider the second surgery an emergency, and paperwork between it and Medicaid got held up.
Lane said the months she spent living at home without a portion of her skull were excruciating. Her skull finally was replaced on April 30.
Lane said she had contacted a television station, and all of a sudden, she was in line for the surgery.
