Misty,
If you get "approval" for ADR make sure you write down who you talked to from BCBS and get what they call an "authorization number" and/or "precertification number" prior to getting surgery. This could be your saving grace if afterward they try to deny your claim.
(Common with BCBS)- Also, have a letter sent to them from your surgeon stateside called a "Letter of Medical Necessity" - prior to surgery is also more wood to add to your fire just in case if they try to deny coverage.
As you can see by my signature, I had Dr. Bertagnoli perform my ADR surgery abroad and doing well. I wish nothing but the best for you and your husband.
