Eddie,
I am gearing up for my own insurance appeal, so I'll be on the boards quite a bit over the next couple of weeks.
I went over to Munich for a one-level with Dr. Zeegers. First reason: Dr. Zeegers. Second reason: Reputation of outstanding patient care (which was the case). Third reason: Choice of discs.
I am so glad I went to Zeegers because he said that my surgery was one of his most difficult ever. I also had received a warning about the U.S. hospital I was considering. I was told to "have someone with me at all times". This made me nervous. I believe you can get a second opinion from Bertagnoli/Zeegers through the web/mail. I wanted the help and support, so I hired Mark ******* with Global Patient Network to help me with this.
I paid out of pocket and I am hoping to get reimbursed. Reason for denial given: The procedure is "experimental".
Good luck. Fiddle
