    Default Appeal filed

    It took my health insurance carrier six weeks to hand me the anticipated denial of reimbursement for ADR surgery. Last week I filed my very lengthy appeal with them. I had my cousin who used to be a case manager with Aetna review my appeal. After I made all of the several changes that she suggested, she said that she thinks that I have a good chance of a favorable review.

    I'll keep you posted. Wish me luck!
