We have Medicare primary and a standard 'medigap' add-on insurance to pick up the difference (between % between what Medicare approves and total amount Medicare has approved). Hub is 42 years old...

That's kind of a loaded question, since it's not FDA approved for 2 level yet, to my knowledge. It's unlikely in a normal situation that any insurance would approve. FDA should have a reply out...

For those who feel strongly 2 level TDR is what they need... remember FDA approval shouldn't be far off if you can wait (within one year). I agree totally with ans about considering hybrid; many...
