FWIW, at my Dr's request I called my insurance company to get their policy on cervical disc replacement and was suprised when they said it is covered. Allied Benefit is new to me, and to my Dr, but I was very relieved to hear that they cover the procedure, with precertification of course.

Good for you Jason. Welcome to the forum and I am happy for you and hope the pre-certification goes off without a hitch. Please keep us informed as many of us have been there before you.
Hang in there. Terry Newton
