Has anyone tried this?
Has anyone asked their insurance company if they would pay for the doctor, hospital, etc. and let you pay for the prosthesis? Wouldn't the costs be comparable to fusion? This would make ADR's more affordable and would let the insurance companies save MORE  money. I also wonder why doctors don't have facilitators to help you with insurance, conscientious docs take the time others don't want to be bothered.
Just a thought, Sandy
