Kaiser LA/Orange county DOES do ADR cervical and lumbar
Hello I am a patient of Kaiser also and just had a one level ADR L5/S1 PRODISC. I have my surgery in Baldwin Park at the spine center so I dont know if every county covers them or not. My surgeon was Dr. Tang, Chris. I also know they use different disc's for the replacements I just dont know all of them. I do know that the charite one was recalled by kaiser and they will no longer implant them for whatever reason they have. I also know that kaiser now has a lot of different coverage plans and depending on the plan patients have will determine hosptial co-pays, deductibles ect. So although kaiser does implant cervical and lumbar ADR at least in LA/Orange county Iam not 100% they cover everyone or every county or state. I hope this helps!
