Hi Patty,

You can get a multi-level ADR in the US. Don't know which ins co you have but chances are they won't even cover a single level. Most don't.

It's not the hospital that performs the surgery, it's the doctor and which hospital he operates in. You're more interested in choosing your doctor... and carefully - you've got one chance to get this right. Same thing applies to European doctors.

There are now excellent doctors in the U.S. Cost is usually the biggest factor, generally speaking, 1/2 the cost (or less) in Europe. Mark, GPN Artificial Disc Replacement ADR can help guide you if you're interested in Europe... Italy.

Don't blame you for not wanting a fusion, especially multi-level. Good luck and keep us posted.

Dale
