I was denied by UHC also, all appeals. My Doctor actually talked to their Orthopedic "Specialist".
My Doctor said this guy sounded like he was retired for quite awhile, and had no real idea about new procedures other than what he has read in magazines. For every 20 reasons for ADR that my Doctor gave, he said this Quack focused only on the 1 or 2 reasons why I shouldnt have it.
Basically he called only to say no, even though it was supposed to be for my Doctor to support my case....
This country is in bad need of Health Insurance reform....
