Default BCBS of Louisiana

I live in Louisiana however, I have BCBS of TX. The surgeon who is going to perform my Prodisc-C said that one of his doctor colleagues needs an ADR and BCBS La will not give in. He said that he spoke to the guy at the top who has the last say so (the medical director?) and his words were "as long as I am in charge we will never approve artificial discs".

Just a heads up for anyone who has that carrier.
