Harrison and Stan thanks
I have requested that they send me the guidelines they used to say the surgery is still investigational and experimental so I can refute them.
I figure I cant fight a decision if I dont know how they based their decision. I hope that they provide me the info.
Another member here has had a hard time getting their ins to come up with anything concerning this.
I am just west of Nashville Stan but grew up in the Cookeville area about half way between Nashville and Knoxville.
