I got Regence Blue Shield to pay for my ADR surgery after a pretty viscous fight which involved 3 appeals, hiring an attorney for thousands of dollars and hundreds of hours of my time. Even after they reversed their decision and paid, they clearly stated in their letter to me that my case was a one off special circumstances case and their policy was clearly not to pay for ADR.

My case is strange because they initially did pay and then attempted to rescind payment about 9 months after paying for the surgery. Insurance companies by law have one year to rescind payment for any reason of their choosing. An overzealous blue shield bean counter looking for career advancement must have thought that I would roll over and accept defeat and be intimidated by their b.s.; not so.

I wish you luck in your fight.

It is absolutely sickening what is going on in this country with respect to health insurance.
