I have just received word that Dr, Bertagnoli is now listed as �preferred provider� by BCBS. What this means is that they can interface with BCBS and if accepted you will not have to pay up front you will just ahve to sign a letter that you will be responsable if BCBS does not pay. It does not mean the battle are over with BCBS, hopefully that will come soon. We have Mark to thanks in the communication between them to help get this thru. Thank you Mark

No it does not mean that yet, it is still up to your local BCBS to approve the procedure, what it does mean is if they do approve it then you will not have to pay for the whole thing out your pockit, will will only have to pay for the deductable as you would with a hospital here in the states. But for some even if the insurance dsid cover it they would not be able to come up with that much money up front. I am hoping insurance approval of ADR will be soon. In my opinion as soon as a couple give in it will not take long for the rest to fall in line, but that is just my opinion.
