Surgeon appeals second time
My spine clinic emailed me today to say that my surgeon worked with LDR (mobi-c manufacturer) , signed and sent the second appeal off via fax to Aetna today. She sent me a copy. If anyone would like to see it PM me with your email and I'll forward. If it gets approved ill post it in the approved appeals thread. I am anticipating that it won't, however.
