Amy's thread about CMS deals with whether or not Medicare will pay for the ARtificial disk. My surgery was fusion and Dynesis and Dynsis is considered fusion, so Medicare will pay for it. It was the Hospital that is refusing to see a Medicare patient. We work our whole lives to qualify for retirement and Medicare. But if the hospitals and Doctors won't accept Medicare it is of little use. I have a secondary insurance company so I'll try to contact them, but I doubt if they will pick up the vast difference.
