Still trying to determine what to do.

Denied at final appeal with insurance for Charite at L5/S1.

Doctor feels I'd do well with ADR or Fusion.

Contemplating a law suit against insurance company for denial of ADR. Attorney is researching my information with outside doctors for expert witnesses if needed. Attorney feels it is most likely that the inscurance company would settle before going to court because a court case usually goes in favor of the individual and not the big insurance company. It would cost me about $5,000 to take it that far. More if it needs to go to court.

Considering fusion since they usually work out well at L5/S1 where not much mobility is affected. The posts from fusion patients have been helpful to me.
