Default Insurance Forum

Thank you to Dr. J (Justin) for recommending an insurance forum. I was denied by BCBS in 2002 for my surgery and that was expected. However, ADR was first FDA approved in October 2004 and here it is more than 4 years later and they are still largely denying ADR surgeries.

I hope this forum helps. For the first post here... I'll recommend a book about fighting your insurance company.... THE INSURANCE WARRIOR, by Laurie Todd.

All the best,

Mark
