How to use this when an adjuster denies a calibration line

Pull the OEM position statement first. Before you even pick up the phone with the carrier, find the exact statement that says "this calibration is required when X is done."
Cite it in writing. Insurance adjusters back off when you respond with a manufacturer page number, not a phone opinion. Attach the PDF or URL to your supplement.
Save scan reports. Pre and post. Date-stamped. They are part of your paper trail.
Line-item every step. Pre-scan. Calibration (with OEM citation). Post-scan. Never bundle into "labor included."
Log the denial in writing. Note carrier name, adjuster, claim number, date. Patterns help you anticipate the next denial.

Stuck on a specific denial right now? Email brew@absoluteadas.com with the carrier, the vehicle, and what they pushed back on. I'll write you the OEM-cited rebuttal — free, 24h turnaround, no pitch. Or call/text 1-844-FIX-ADAS.
