US/California insurance and ADR by Dr. Bertagnoli in Germany question

[mmglobal]

There are spine surgeons in the US who have been doing multi-level cervical ADR for nearly a decade and have hundreds or thousands of ADR procedures under their belts.

I've not seen much success at getting the insurance companies to budge. Most of the successful cases I've seen are either with very wealthy patients who have Cadillac insurance policies, or people who work for self insured entities (like school districts) where decisions are made by a board made up of insurance company folks, plus representatives from the employer.

Good luck!
