wasn't Empire one of the few BCBS that had been covering ADR???? am I confusing it with another BCBS? Are you trying to get a one level Charite or ProDisc??
i'm having trouble bringing up the list on my computer but look at:

in fact i did a search with empire and thought ANS was given preauth from Empire in NY???
sorry...i see you've already talked to allan before...so did Empire change their position or was Allan just an exception? if you don't mind...i'd be curious to hear what's happened with Empire on the ins issue
