Gene,
I don't have a date for ADR surgery at C 5-6 yet. My surgeon is waiting for pre-op authorization in writing from BC/BS. I agree that my doctor should wait for that ,but having gone through an external reviewer (insurance hell) for this surgery I don't understand why BC/BS didn't authorize that already. BC/BS loves to wear you down.
