Default Need names and permission to use for my appeal

Hi Staci - I am appealing to my insurance for the 2nd time. I am seeking the names of people who have been paid for ADR, their surgery date, surgery location, physicians name and insurance name. Would you mind providing that information? I'm building a list to prove to my insurance that ADR is becoming a standard medical practice. Since the FDA does not approve surgical procedures but rather the tools that are used in surgeries, I am appealing on the grounds that this is not "experimental". Providing precedent set by other insurance companies will help my case. I imagine that any one of us having to appeal a denied claim could use the same information. Could we build a list that lives here on the ADR site? I know I'd be happy to add my name to it, once I've been paid.
Thanks for your help!
Lauren
PS If you email me privately, I'm happy to provide any further info you might want. lauren@workinggreen.org
Thanks again.
