I had laminectomies and refused to have spinal fusion. I made a complete recovery. I had my surgery Apr/2020. Returned to work in mid-June. Feel good as new today. No back stiffness or pain. I do however have a little residual numbness to my toes. When I woke up after surgery the numbness was felt up to my knee. But it has mostly gone 90% away. I dont mind having that than the severe back pain I was having.

LSI covers procedure for the MD thru Medicare but not thru the ASC since there is no contract with Medicare. They want $18,000 up front to do the procedure surgically in the ASC and not the hospital. How do they justify that cost surgically? Did not have the procedure due to cost.
