Okay - update.

Spoke with CA Ins. Commissioner's office yesterday.

1) they have to determine jurisdiction.
a. If Pacificare is a trust, then California does not have jurisdiction and I would need to go through Colorado.

2) Pacificare IS NOT a trust, so CA does have jurisdiction.

3) Prove to them that the Charite' is not experimental. That is the reason that PC gave for not approving.
a. I now have a call in to the DuPuy people to get national publicated articles with trial results, etc.

Interesting note: no one is arguing the fact that I need surgery. This guy said that if it were still experimental, that no one would have approved it. I thought, where the )*()& have you been? They've been approving it all over the states.

At the time that we do all of the above, then they send the info and my file to an independent medical examiner. Then, he gives his determination. I asked if they send my file to a pediatrician or what. He said they contract with a group of drs., spine specialists included (dinosaurs?). So....we will see.
