It is important to note that the insurance information provided here is mostly for the artificial disc replacement and for patients trying to get reimbursement on their own.
However, Prof. Dr. Bertagnoli does many types of complexspine surgery. Indeed he takes many severe cases, which no other doctor will. He has even replaced the entire lumbar spine of a patient! These cases need the TPAs ever more so than the ADR patients.
