Paula,
Not sure I can help you with your insurance question but I am having a one level Prodisc with Dr. Zigler On Feb, 8th. (L5-S1) They told me that I would most likely be released the very next day, could go home (Pittsburgh, PA) the next day as well if everything is ok. Planning on staying until Monday, the 12th, to meet with him then fly home. It may be different with more than one level.
I was very shocked to here of the aggressive release schedule, but I guess if there are no complications , I can lay in the hotel just as easy. Plan on doing my follow-up at home also.
My wife is also making the trip. To be safe, we allowed for a week, if needed.
Congrat's on your insurance. I have BCBS, so I'll be paying cash (choke, choke).
Good Luck, maybe I'll see you there.
Dave
