Meredith,
Congratulations...you are one of the few. I have Premera Blue Cross in WA State and they just denied me for the usual reasons. That is OK though, their denial immediately entered me into a Kineflex/Charite trial study that will be paying entirely for a 1 level ADR at L4-5 in August. If anyone is in the Northwest and in need of of ADR, I would recommend considering this before all the participants are selected.
