Default Help with approval ltrs and finding studies for my appeal

Again, as I already posted last week, anyone who has a multi level approval letter (cervical or ADR) to share with me, please do.

At this time, Im completely stonewalled/stuck on how to find the following

1. Studies that show multi level ADR as good or better than fusion
2. Studies showing ADR cheaper than fusion, preferrably multi level
3. Peer reviewed articles publsihed by my dr, dr bertagnoli and Aetna's in network doctor Jack Ziglar (since he alsdo reccomended 2 level ADR for me). Im still not quite sure what peer reviewed is, how you know when a article is "peer reviewed" and how to find them. Im so freakin lost on that, Ive googled all I can with no results.

Anyone who has already done the appeal fight, Id love to have all your literature/science articles that you used, assuming you saved them.

Thanks
