Brady,

Sorry to hear about your appeal. Before having my fusion, I talked to a lawyer about possibly filing a civil suit, unfortunately, becasue my company is self funded and UHC is only the administrator, I would have had to sue my employer, which besides them having hundreds of lawyers at their disposal, would have been career suicide on my part. A friend of my family that is an HR director for mywife's company didnt think it was a good idea either.....

Sadly, Insurance companies and big corporations have us where they want us right now. What really gets me is that the bills for my fusion are starting to come in now, and I really dont see much of a savings from the cost of the ADR surgery????

Oh well.....

Best of Luck to You, whichever course of action you take!!!

John
