I have never had any spinal problems not covered by my insurance company after I had 4 level ADR. I had facet injections and epidurals every three months for the first year after my surgery. I also had a couple of neuro-surgical consultations to make sure the discs were installed correctly and had not subsided further.
I have Blue Cross of Michigan which has been absolutely superb to work with for my care. Not all Blue Cross is created equal. Ours is a non-profit organization that operates in the State of Michigan.
I do not believe they can deny care just because you went against them but I could be wrong. They do have a lot of power and need some Federal Regulation that will prevent some of the rampant abuses that are occurring.
