Default Ok it's my turn....

Congratulations on the successful battle! I am now up against the insurance beast. I have gone through the facet block, which was negative; and the discogram which told the doctor that ideally I should go for this hybrid, but doe to insurance (the lack of) and my financial situation, I am headed for an adr L5/S1. I am not sure if we can name names, but I am at the max of my out-of-pocket with my insurance and they are not very user friendly when it comes to the hypothetical what if.. discussions. At best I might get some coverage for the hospital, I am not sure if the consultations were even covered. It is all too new. I went to the surgeon Oct 12th then October 19th and now I am going for surgery November 6th. Any advice onthe ultimate insurance battle? My back is purely ddd, no accident really to blame. (I just got lucky)

Thanks!
Kath
