Nichole,
I am very sorry to hear this did not go your way. I hope your last battle with the independent panel has a better outcome for you. I know how much you would rather have this ADR than fusion and it pains me to see you settle for something that you know is inferior. Being from Seattle also and having Blue Cross also, I don't feel much optimism about my situation either. May God comfort you in these trying times.
