Thank you all for your responses. I have sent my films/records off to Dr. Delamarter for review and spoke to the Texas Back Institute. They stated that they will cover the cost of the discs, but not the surgery. They said that the hospital works out a payment plan, but it would be 20k. I would have to mortgage my house, but it may be worth it. I will check with Spinal Motion to see if they are still taking participants. Thank you all for your responses.
