I have just been denied a 2 level ADR from Anthem BCBS of Indiana. I am starting the appeal process now. They say that the procedure is, of course, experimental. We pretty much expected it. My doctor's office tells me my doctor is going to do a peer to peer conference with them early next week. We'll see how that goes.
If only some of the people on the medical review board for Anthem and other insurance companies could read this forum. Maybe in my appeal I will list this site for them to review. If they could just see how many people ADR really helps. I am only 38, I don't want to have a fusion now with little or now options for the future.
