Hello Brad!
I am sorry to hear you were denied, but I wasn't surprised. I recently got my appeal back from UHC and, of course, stood by their denial because "experimental/unproven"
It is very upsetting how insurance can do that. People can even have that same insurance and one will get approved and another denied because they live in a different state or insurance region. I even asked mine if they would pay for the surgery and I would pay for the Charite. Of course they said "no". It will take some government intervention...some across the board standards. OK...I will get down from my soap box.
Hugs,
Kat
