The insurance is real funny, they will fight like the dickens, and say it is NOT approved, then go back at them, AFTER you have it done, and they will reimburse.
Risky, but it does work, in some cases.
First, Talk to your doctor about the Mobi-C, have them submit the paperwork to the insurance.

Then I read about Dr. Katzman in FL. and Dr. Kenneth Light in CA. so are they for real? I think if I got the M6 at C 6/7/T1 then had the PEEK cage removed at C 3/4, I might have my life back.
