I believe I left a similar message here the other day concerning the Prestige Disc and Insurance coverage. I had 4-level ADR surgery November 4, 2006; two Prestige discs Cervical, two Maverick discs Lumbar and, Blue Cross/Blue Shield of Michigan payed for the entire surgery that was done at Stenum Hospital in Germany and, they have payed for all of my follow-up care since coming home to the States. My surgery was close to $61,000.00. Plus I won my lawsuit in mediation over the accident that caused my spine's final demise and got about $74,000.00 from that. Three years of my life were involved; surgery to repair my shattered clavicle, surgery to repair my lumbar and cervical area of my spine and now, to be never the same again, I don't think I got a bargain out of the deal. It's a hellish way to make money.
Good-Luck to you.
Terry Newton
