Yes, I did watch sicko and it made me want to leave the country. My husband already called HR about it. They just thought maybe i should submit more deailed info and get it approved. So frustrating.
I also called metronic for help on my appeal and they said they couldn't help me. That was said because in US it is only apporoved for one level and she said I'm not suppose to have any curative in my spine either. Your cervical can't have curvature for Bryan either. So what other ADR my work for me?

HR needs to take a more active role. Like CALLING BCBS. Also, you are correct. Medtronic can ONLY help if it is one level. I frigging hate our insurance system here.
