Default what about

Judy,
I know you want to have surgery w/your surgeon tho I'm just wondering if you wouldn't want to at least get a 2nd surgical opinion. They are covered by the insurance generally as it's always recommended to get a 2nd surgical opinion so coverage for the opinion shouldn't be a prob. Maybe w/one of the spine surgeon Mark knows well in LA area?

I was supposed to get Prolia authorized (2 injex/year) but the Rheumatologist received some kind of notice from my insurance provider saying the services weren't covered altho it was their mistake and they were supposed to correct it which I guess they have not.

I didn't want any part of the potential for jaw necrosis either that could be caused by drugs like Fosamax tho did use Forteo for a while tho was not compliant w/treatment so no improvement. I'm sure I'll pay for this at some point in the future...
