Default Coming Aug 13th!!! 2 Level ADR by Rick Delamarter
Im scheduled for the 13th for a 2 level Prodisc-Nova! I'm fighting with Aetna to cover the 2nd level. Actually Rick met in a peer-to-peer appointment with their financial denial dept. Either way. I'm tired of this debilitating problem and will get fixed then!! WooooHooo!!! New Neck suspension system!!!!

Thx!
Tommy Lee!

Aenta turned me down 3x.... My doctor had a peer to peer with them and fought for 30mins with no movement.

I'm going ahead with the surgery. I can't want another 1-3 months to chance on an approval. I'll send lawyers after them next week.

Looking forward to government health care!

thx,
Thomas!!
