Potential ADR
Dr just recommended a 2 level ADR, but I was told by his insurance Expert that I can't get two levels done in Illinois. Yes, United Health Care is involved. Does any one know anything about Illinois still having a single ADR restriction? I am wondering if I traveled to anohter State (such as to the Cleveland Clinic) if they might not have the same restrictions?
She (the insurance Expert) does think I could get a single ADR (between C5 and 6) and a fusion between 6 and 7. I would prefer as would the Dr to do the 2 level ADR. And comments on doing 1 ADR and one fusion?
