Hi Donna, please review the "ADR Surgical Outcome Forum" section of this forum, and you will find at least 3 people had 2 level ADR in the Cervical area in past few months, 2 in the US.
Best of luck,
Dema

I am one of those patients. I had two level ADR at the C5-7 on Oct 14th, 2014 and it was paid for by my insurance. I won on the third appeal. I had the Mobi-C inplanted here in Colorado and I am doing great. If you need any help or have questions, please feel free to pm me.

I am a mobi-c 2 level as well. My insurance, Aetna, denied my surgery so I paid out of pocket. A friend of mine had Her two level surgical covered by Cigna a few months ago.
