Man that's great for you. Congratulations. Working on my 1st appeal now. I did what you did, but when I got my case # I specifically asked if they wanted supporting docs over the previous 3 years showing how dire my condition was. They specifically told me to only send the surgery related invoices etc. Do I understand you right, that you sent them additional documentation about procedures, treatments you did before your surgery?

also, you stated: I checked and made sure my insurance had BlueCard WorldWide, AND that my insurance policy stated that it covered NON-emergency care for covered services outside the country

Did they tell you about the NON-emergency coverage or did you read that yourself on your policy?
