Terry,
Where in the US did you have a 4 level adr performed? I had my films reviewed in Germany and require a 3 level ADR. However I dont have the required $50K+ to get it done. My wife has BCBS and I am also on Medicare via Social Security Disability. Do you think it is advantageous for me being on Medicare or would I have a better shot in getting Insurance approval if I only had BCBS? Thanks for any input you can provide.

WOW. I did not see this post and missed putting in a reply. I had went to Stenum Hospital in Germany for my 4 level ADR surgery. I am at 20 months following my surgery and life is good. I am sorry for the late response. I would try to get BC/BS to pay for this first.
