[YZ2U]

YES!!! I just received information that my preauthorization request to have the Veterans Health Administration cover my Lumbar ADR procedure was approved. I wasn't sure if I would get approval because I read that the VA would not cover procedures to be done overseas and could find no one that had gotten approval domestically.

That said I'm only having ADR at 1 level (L4-L5) and my private insurer (Anthem BC of CA) denied me previously. I will continue to fight my insurance company with the hope that potentially winning approval will further push them to change their anti-Lumbar ARD policy.

Wish me luck!
