kimmers, LBP, sahuaro:
Well, that answers my questions! thanks. So I guess I get to keep on fighting.....BUT, suppose I do drop it now, and when new discs are approved (as I assume they eventually will be...) can I have my surgeon submit a new request? I suppose these are questions for the insurance company, assuming they will give me a straight answer. Perhaps now is the time to see if my hospital's corporate parent has some sort of patient advocate, eh? Thanks for the info, I really have no idea how insurance companies work, which is exactly where they like us, eh?
