Kristi:
I too have United (PPO) but I am just beginning to contact neurosurgeons so I haven't had to deal with United yet (although they keep sending letters asking if I've applied for disability yet so they don't have to pay their pittance for physical therapy). But please do post your experiences and progress--and I will certainly let you know if/when I get to that point.
