Had ADR In Barcelona Went Back to work
I am one of the cops that had ADR and went back to work. I was a ptrol supervisor. This was in 2010 I was in the same situation as you. Workers Comp. tough to prove (California) as injuries we're cumulative. They Blue Cross would not approve ADR only fusion. Went through two appeals with them to no success. Finally did research on all the over sea's Doc's. and decided on Dr. Clavel in Barcelona. I had level using M-6 as C 4/5 & 5/6. Surgery successful went back to work with no issues. I did finally retire after 30 yrs. of service. Hope this helps.
