Anthem BCBS denial overturned at external review
I received a letter from the IRO that reviewed my case 2 days ago. The denial for c5-c7 mobi-c disc replacement by Anthem BCBS was overturned! ! LDR patients advocacy program took care of evething for me. If anybody needs help with appealing a mobi-c disc replacement surgery LDR patient advocacy program may be able to help you get approved. It's a long process but it's worth it.

...they are starting to realize, yes, ADR do work and yes, people are productive again, and they PAY for their PREMIUMS, while working.
Good Luck, in the neck, I would go with Mobi-C, from what I am told.
