Hi Mike,
Blue Cross did originally pay for my ketamine treatments then decided they were experimental/investigative. The most Dr. S's office could do for me was to send me his lastest research findings in hope that would help. It didn't seem to have any bearing on BC decision. I just received the answer to my appeal over the weekend and they denied it again.
Hopeful

It's one of the many things that persons who are fortunate enough to be his patients have to be greatful for.
