Aetna tells me they wont cover a Cervical discogram because it is experimental, yet, they cover lumbar Discograms and Cervical ADR's. Is that Nuts or what? You can bet Im going to appeal the hell outof that one and try to recover the $3,000 it will cost me to pay in cash.

Guess Ill be making use of Laurie Todd's book after all.

By the way, Im not sure how to appeal for coverage of a cervical discogram. At least with ADR appeals, you know what you are trying to prove. Not sure where to start with proving why they should cover a discogram(sigh)
