Default Need Aetna help

All, Aetna provides umbrella coverage to my company which is self insured. They have denied coverage for my ADR claiming that nobody covers that procedure currently. I've heard of Aetna covering the procedure and was wondering if anyone can provide prrof that a Cervical ADR was covered by Aetna. My HR VP is trying to get it covered but because we're self insured we have to get Aetna to agree to provide umbrella coverage. My company would pay to a certain point but needs coverage in case things go wrong.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Jason
