Chuck,
You know I'm in. Denied by Highmark Blue Cross/Shield for single level Charite/Prodisc. Went to TBI for surgery on 2/8/07. I live in Pittsburgh, PA. Still in the appeals process but I do not expect anything. If you don't mind Chuck I will make an inquiry with my attorney this week. Have some other business to discuss and he may have some good info for me. He works for a pretty big law firm. I will be glad to pass the info on to you. Dave

if insurance company must pay for gov employees if fda approved what gives them the right to change for the private insured i want to see them tell a fed judge that the fda branch of gov is useless.
chuck p/s its a double standard that must go if its not fda approved then they say no it's not approved. and if its fda approved and they dont want to pay it becomes experimental. GRRRRR

HEALTHNET may soon pay for Prodisc adr! We were denied by HealthNet today for my husband's two level ADR; however, when HealthNet contacted Dr. Yue's office to inform them of the denial, HealthNet said that they are considering changing their position on covering these procedures, and said to tell us to appeal! Dr. Yue's office has never been told anything like that from any other insurance company! I'll keep you all posted if I hear anything else.
