After two denials from MD-IPA (owned by UHC), the US Office of Personnel Management - the final arbiter for patients covered under Federal Employee health plans - determined that MD-IPA did not apply the guidelines correctly as to what constitutes "experimental and investigational" and must provide coverage.

So I'll probably be getting a Charite from Dr McAfee sometime in November - October is booked with family outings, and I'm hoping if I wait a little while longer, the coated endplates will be available.

What a relief.
