Cheryl,
I have been fighting with my insurance (Health Net of California) for over a year to get my ADR surgery approved. So far I only know of three carriers that are approving it across the board, Aetna, Kaiser and BCBS of NJ. I have heard that UHC and Definity Health have been approving it on a case by case basis.
I don't know how any insurance company can deny coverage of the entire procedure since FDA approval defines the procedure as no longer being experimental/investigational.
Good luck.
Rick
