Nichole,
Sorry to hear about your denial.
I am at the same stage you are - the independent external review. I decided to forego the in-house appeals and grievance committee, realizing no way was I going to change the minds of those on the insurance company board that ADR isn't experimental. Unfortunately from your experience, looks like that may have been right.
I'll keep you posted on my next step.
Andrea
