My lumbar back surgery was denied by my insurance company. Anyone out there who has experience in a insurance denial claim for surgery?
That's two different neurosurgeons that recommended surgery on my spine and both were denied. The nurse said that is not unusual. It seems that all insurance companies are denieing surgery. I'm going to fight this one. The Healthcare insurance companies are just looking at their bottom line. They definitely aren't here for the patients!

@koneil your best bet is to fight this on your own. Patients have a lot of sway with their insurance carrier when you get pushy. I’d write them with certified letters and I’d call them as much as possible. The more you nag the better response you’ll get.
