ISIS Members Succeed in Convincing Premera to Adopt Appropriate Coverage

Two ISIS members, Drs. Paul Dreyfuss and Ray Baker, met with the medical director of Premera Blue Cross insurance plan on March 28, 2014 to discuss Premera’s decision to not cover C 2-3 facet radiofrequency neurotomy.  As a result of the meeting, during which the scientific evidence was presented, Premera issued a new policy providing coverage for C 2-3 facet RF neurotomy.
