Curiouser and curiouser. Well, I just called my HR and they confirmed we are self-insured. She said to submit the request to UHC and if they deny it to then contact HR for the appeal. She was not familiar with this particular situation but said the only way to find out was to ask, of course. Now I just have to get a doctor to stop waiting for me to become fully disabled before they recommend it! I have an appointment on May 10th so should be armed with some good info after our NYC event. I am going to also send my diagnosis and MRIs to the Alpha Klinik and see if they will respond before my appointment so I will know if I am even a candidate, though I believe I am.
Thanks for the info, I am learning so much here. What a resource!
