Hi, I'm new here but I'm in the same boat as everyone else who has been denied ADR by their insurance for "experimental" reasons.
I've been researching fusion v. ADR to provide info in my request for independent external review (my first appeal was already denied).
Is anyone familiar with this publication: Spine Surgery: Products, Technologies, Markets & Opportunities, Worldwide. I located it at http://www.mediligence.com/rpt-m501.htm
I thought it might be worthwhile to check it out re anything helpful to argue to insurance companies.
I tried researching some medical libraries but didn't come up with any leads and unfortunately I'm 3 hours from a major city with a university medical library.
I'm so lucky to have found this forum - thanks to you all - I'm here to share and join in the cause.
Just call me,
Refuse to be fused!
