I am in California and facing exactly the same situation with exactly the same levels. Since ADR has just been approved only approved for one cervical level in the U.S., your chances of getting WC to pay for it up front are not good. In addition, my WC attorney said that if you seek medical attention outside your list of doctors and surgeons, WC will pay NOTHING, not even temporary disability benefits.
You need a WC attorney if you decide to fight the system.
