Just got off the phone with my insurance company. They will only cover surgeries done in the US by a US doctor and FDA approved devices.

The good thing is they will cover ADR and if I have to have it now the Charite will be my only choice.

"Thanks insurance company for helping me with this decision by narrowing my focus." I though research was to broaden you knowledge base. Be careful what you learn it may not comply with their POLIEY. http://adrsupport.org/groupee_common...s/icon_mad.gif

One more question posted to them. "If I pay for the best Doctor in the world will you cover my follow-up?" Can't wait for their response.

Got� a love being a Teacher in the US

Who is your company?

My insurance is Health Comp and Universal Health Review is the authorization company. They said I had to speak with Health Comp re: coverage

Health Comp said this is in the policy that my school district pays into. I live in Nevada

I know I�m very luck you be covered for ADR in the US. Just disappointed. I will be continuing my European consultation. More answers are needed. http://adrsupport.org/groupee_common...n_confused.gif

Didn't someone report that their surgery from Dr. Bertagnoli was covered on their Blue Shield or Blue Cross?

Blue Cross worldwide access has covered overseas surgeries.

One more question answered:

No follow-up care either if I go out of Country for ADR. This is the American Way isn't it? http://adrsupport.org/groupee_common...s/icon_eek.gif Soooo glad I know all this up front.

Mark *** has started dialog with Zeegers and Regan. The best in the US working with the best in the world not bad I might say. I�ll take it. I sure could not do this alone.

Thanks �Mark� and Global Patent Network!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
