Help! Need Lumbar Hybrid Surgery Insurance Precedents
I have UnitedHealthcare Insurance (UHC). UHC has denied my request for Lumbar Hybrid Surgery, which consists of a total disc replacement at one level and a fusion at the adjacent level.
Has your insurance company paid for it? If so, can you please provide the following information to help me establish precedent where insurance companies have paid for this treatment: 1. First and last names 2. Name of insurance company 3. Date of treatment 4. Doctor's name Please send this information to me at sembry504 at gmail.com. Any help is greatly appreciated!

I'm sorry you are going through this struggle. It's particularly hard when we don't feel well, I know that too well but, hang in there. Here's an article that might help you and another link I found in my notes when I was researching this last year.
https://ryortho.com/2013/08/landmark...o-pay-for-adr/ http://guides.wsj.com/health/health-...urance-denial/ This site has an enormous amount of information in it. There is a search bar at the top that you can use to try and find what you want. Good luck to you. Others have won this battle but, it's takes a lot of perseverance.
