Well good luck Karin. If it's not approved will you consider tyring to get into the Kineflex/charite trial?
My ins recently changed and I am trying to figure out the best timing to use up my claims. I figure I get one shot with Charite and one with ProDisc but I am not even sure about that. My last ins said I was entitled to a whole new appeal process with each new manuf disc...but really I'd like to have the FDA approve 2 levels before I use up another appeal. so here I sit and wait and watching to see if any other companies start changing their policies.
Again, good luck!
