ADR - Cost. Going it alone?
Does anyone have any idea of what artificial disk surgery actually costs in the USA? I am waiting for my surgeon to give me an idea of this and was curious if anyone on the site paid out of pocket to have it done domestically and what the total was (including hospital cost)? Seeing as though United Healthcare has rejected my appeal, I am considering figuring out a way to finance the surgery or something. Just trying to weigh options. Thanks for any help.
