Hey, can any of you work comp people give me further information on how to begin the process of asking for authorization from wc for the ADR? As I mentioned previously, I have an appointment with my surgeon (who doesn't do ADRs) on Oct. 3rd to pick up my MRIs for my new pain management appt. and to discuss perhaps having ADR. Should I ask my nurse case manager about it now, or should I wait until I talk to my doc? Also, do ya'll have any idea how long the approval process takes, and does anyone know if the Maverick or Kinflex (sp) has been approved? One more thing, do any of you know whether wc would approve me going to Germany for the surgery?
Thanks in advance
Cathy
