Ins. Co.s that cover for ADR and Helping Norwegians.
I thought that title might get some attention. It's weird but true, if you can help me find convincing documentation which would prove (to a Norwegian) that some health insurance companies are in fact covering or the expenses of ADR surgery, then you could be providing some key information, to help Norwegian medical officials to change their ruling that ADR surgery is experimental surgery!!
(That is the longest sentence I've ever seen...typical me...sorry.

How about this...Norway has sosialized medicine which works like one big insurance company that will not cover for ADR because they claim it is "experimental." My surgeon, Bråten (the very best in Norway) will meet with health officials and asked me to gather the proof that ins. co. in US are covering expenses for ADR surgery.

I will start my own research of course, but I wanted to come to the best first...and that is this board without a doubt. Thanks to whoever is responsible for setting this up and keeping it going.
