Really sad and unethical and immoral indeed. They only give in when you appeal and put up a fight, which most people dont , most people just give up.

Im appealing for a 3 level ADR reimbursement with Aetna and Im going ALL THE WAY BABY!! Whether I win or lose, Im given them hell. IN fact, Ill spend another $3k to $5K to take them to court in the end if necesssary. Maybe Ill lose still. WHo cares, Im give em hell either way. SO far, I do have at least 1 case of prescedencse where they have paid for multi level ADR. Im looking for more but every time I find people on these boards who have had aetna cover their multi level ADR, they say they've thrown it away already. OH well.
Thrown it away? Oh heck no. I'd be holding on to that for a while.
