Jeff,

Thank you for the valuable feedback. I really hate BC/BS?

They will approve 1 level ADR or fusion at C5-6 . Should I do ADR even though C3-4 needs to be done? The internal reviewer won't approve any surgical intervention. Is it a waste of ime to do one or should I wait until C3-4 deteriorates further or until BC/BS approves of it.
