Im sure it is quite expensive, but my employers workers compensation insurance company has agreed to pay for a 2 level ADR. This may be a first for a co. to appove the procedure, I dont know. On July 9th surgeon told me he was doing a 2 level. Said he was going to go ahead and do it without INS approval because I needed to get better and this was a clear cut case and he knew he would eventually get paid in the end. He really is awesome. He is not a fan of INS companies. Within 10 days they approved the surgery, a big shock to both of us. August 12 will have procedure. Still dont know which style of disc will find out on 3rd at pre-op. Im hoping for BRYAN. looks like the best available to me.
