Jerry,
I have BC /BS. Going from my experience they will pay for ONE and ONE only.
I went through first, second and external appeals. My surgeon put in for two. They approved one and the one that was the better of the two. What morans.
Even though they only paid for one of mine maybe they'll pay for yours. There's always hope. I had a cervical compression and severe stenosis with three nerve roots compressed. I went through all testing and results were all positive . BC/BS ignored my testing results or didn't read my results and I fought them for a year. I am considering suing them for damages because I have permanent nerve damage in my hands.
My advice to you; don't give up, fight them like h--- kicking and screaming for your life. Don't take no for an answer or listen to any naysayers. They have to start paying! Good luck keep me posted!
