Well, I'm inspired now.
Sorry to hear about the denial Kathy.
After reading all the advice here, I am encouraged. I had not even thought about applying to have my insurance company pay (BCBS of NC). I had just accepted that I would have to pay the $8000 (for the disc and supplies needed for that part of the surgery, since I was looking at hybrid surgery), if I chose to go that route. It would be great if I could get them to pay.
