At least L5-S1 is usually an easier surgery than L4-L5. Mostly because they dont have to move that large vein that feeds your legs. Hopefully you won't need ADR at L4-L5 anytime soon because they...

L5-S1 isn't the worst level to have a fusion. That level doesn't move like the L5-L4-L3 levels so I wouldn't sweat it if you cant get ADR. I may get a fusion at L5-S1 also.
