Update: There are no new updates
I called my spine clinic about 10 days after she said she sent the appeal to Aetna. She called me back the next day, saying that she called Aetna to follow up and they said "we never received it". She faxed it to them again that day and said she will be checking with them every few days. So I will be calling her every few days to check that she checked with them. Because I have nothing better to do and this is really fun for me. Not.
