Text:

I am a Federal employee who has Anthem Blue Cross Blue Shield and they
will not authorize the Rheo Knee because according to their policy
#OR-PR.00003, the use of a computerized leg is considered
investigational and not medically necessary. I know for a fact
insurance companies authorize the Rheo if it is a worker man's comp
claim and the Gov is fitting soldiers for the Rheo and C Leg. Does
anyone know of an insurance company that authorizes the Rheo for
government employees other than soldiers and workerman's comp claims?
