Byron,
My Surgeon made it very clear to me that the 2 level ADR is NOT FDA approved. Due to that, insurance companies will NOT cover it. I've heard people are having a hard time getting approved for a just a single ADR. That probably has to do with the make and type of disc seeing as how some are and are not approved by the FDA. The FDA is having trouble keeping up with the medical advancement of today.
