James.....
I understand your need to rush.
If i was you and wanting to get it done ASAP...I would contact Texas Back Institute, send them your films and let them know it's urgent. When i reached out to them i got a response by phone that same day. If you want a disc, you WILL get a Prodisc. IF you want it covered by insurance, they will give you the best possible chance of coverage due to there extensive, long term experience with the procedure. You can see if your insurance will pre-authorize it. Get it scheduled, buy a ticket, fly over there and get it done.
