Aetna
So, Looks like Aetna has a new Clinical Policy Bulletin ADR lumbar is now considered experimental and they don't cover it.
They first denied me in July as not medically necessary, now they denied it because they changed their policy in September.
Said I can appeal to the California Dept of Insurance...
