A couple more questions about insurance. I'm new here and still working on approval for a 2 level cervical ADR on top of a previous 2 level fusion. I already had a laminectomy on the area needing to readressed, and now have too much instability/lean, and then the previous fusion take me out of the criteria for ADR surgery in the US. So I am hoping someone in Germany will help me. Of course money is always an issue. So......
1. At what point do you try to get approval for a procedure overseas?
2. From what I am reading, am I correct in the fact that you can appeal your case before you have the surgery?
And My Main Question.......
3. Has anyone had any experience with complications after their procedure overseas and did their insurance cover the additional medical help/treatments that were directly related to those complications?
I appreciate any answers you might be able to provide. - Nancy
