Hello again. Just an update. I certainly feel very blessed to have my employer (for unknown reason) switch to AETNA Insurance in the midst of my contemplating ADR Surgery. Now looks like there is a chance to get a good portion of the surgery paid for. Met with my surgeon last week. Going to submit me for approval through AETNA. Was already denied in 06 by UHC. Hoping this one goes through. Need 2 level, so I'll be forking out some $$, but still partial coverage is better than nothing. Should hear back within the next few weeks. Wish me luck as I begin this journey!! I'm scared as hell to go through this but diagnosis shows this is really only option.
