I am also a veteran i am 2 years into my initial claim waiting on my rating for my neck. wanted to know how you got fee basis so you can get the surgery through your private surgeon? the va is offering me to do fusion for c-5 c-6 but the dr said they don't do adr and that there is no evidence saying they are any better than adcf but he told me i will have 15% restricted range of motion with adcf. I am only 27 and would like to be as active as possible again after this ordeal and i am worried about the effects on the other levels of my neck and maybe having to have the adcf replaced after 10 years. i am assuming i can't do fee basis until im rated but i would like to know how so i can move quickly once my rating finally comes. is there a poc at the va to talk to about this or what? i have spent hours online trying to figure out how to go about this. thanks
