Thank you for the encouraging replies.

I had the implant in Germany. I petitioned my insurance for re-imbursement after I returned home. They paid 90%.

My insurance does not require pre-approval for the one procedure code to explant the artificial disc. There are many associated procedure codes and the hospital stay for which pre-approval is necessary. Very frustrating.
