I have been thinking about getting an ADR. I had a nucloplasty 3 years ago that failed, but I live with it.
I was ondering if ADR in the states has caught up to that in europe? and who is paying now for ADR, is insurance finally doing it? if so, anyone know what companies are? And how does the price compare within the U.S. and europe? If there are problems, do U.S doctors work with patients although the surgery was over in Europe? Any help is appreciated! Thanks Ken

ck out the Charite website at:
http://www.charitedisc.com/charitedev/domestic/patients...r2/docs/coverage.pdf Charite claims these insurance companies have positive coverage policies Generally, unless you have Aetna or Kaiser or one of the few Blue Cross that pays, or unless you're a federal employee, you probably wont get covered...but we are all hoping things will pop in the near future on insurance coverage. The others who have been covered in the past, generally worked for a company that was self insured and the company over rided the third party administrator's initial denial.
