I'm from Manitoba and from what I checked there is no health insurance that covers ADR surgery in another country available in Canada. You can write off some of the cost as a medical expense on your taxes but that is about it.
I spoke with a number of local back surgery patients that went to Germany and they all basically told me that. From what I gather ADR surgery is considered experimental in Canada. I have yet to hear from any Canadian being reimburesed for adr surgery in another country. If there is one I'd love to hear from them and let me know how they did it. I have heard that some that have their own business can get a certain insurance policy that would cover the surgery, problem being is that the premiums are so high they were uncertain that it wouldn't cost more in the end.
Why do you think you need a 2 level ADR?
