Hello LBP,
I am new and I am chiming in. I was denied for a two level prodisc L4-S1 by two separate policies, Blue Cross and Blue Shield. I appealed for an IMR and was denied again. I won't give up yet. I paid cash for my surgery. My goal is get so much better that I can prove my surgery was valid. How is your research going?
Phylly
