I used to work for Aetna and their medical directors do not hold a high bar of clinical superiority for therapies. Aetna's national enrollment- on the downward slide. The true test is that if/when BCBS (100+ mil lives) reviews this and posts a negative position on the procedure, it'll be very tough for Nuvasive to overcome without new clinical data and/or a coding revision.
