Allan,

Has Blue Cross budged?
I am so entirely pissed off at them. I got a denial the other day for a CT exam I had at my sinus doctor's office. Now, these exams are pre-approved before they are done.
There is no way I will pay for this.

Just another example of Blue Cross's idiocy.

I am praying that Anthem/Blue Cross goes out of business. It would be just desserts. I can tell you I saw recently in the newspaper that BC/Anthem was fined 11.3 million for approving surgical procedures and then rescinding the policies of people after the surgery was done.

And here we are looking at a $63,000 hospital bill for my ADR surgery. They have quite a racket going on, denying ADR.
I learned a few things about appeals so I can help, but you cannot reason with BC. They are like a dictatorship.
I am not kidding when I say they are evil.

Sure, I studied Laura's book and e-mailed her for advice.
All in all, I would have ADR over fusion and am pleased with the ADR results so far even if it is a roller coaster ride.
