On my approval letter for ADR it states:
Procedure: 22851 Apply Spine Prosth Device
Planned Treatment: Anterior Lumbar Artificial Disc Replacement
My insurance is Health Comp/Universal Health Review PPO. UHR is the one that did the authorization.
There is not mention of disc type on the letter. But the doctor that got me approved was a Charite doc. PM me if you have any questions.
