Steve,
Congratulations on your "new neck"!!! I'm sure you've already gotten this but I'll run it past you anyway. Aetna's Clinical Policy Bulletin for ADR is numbered 0591. You can find the 18 page document on their site aetna dot com and use their search engine for clinical policy bulletins by number.
I had to get my HR department involved in getting approval for ADR surgery at Stenum. They relented to "out of netwok" coverage of 50%. Hopefully you'll get better results as far as percentages go.
I certainly hope your battle with them is much less taxing than the one you fought with the US medical community.
Bob
