Allan,

How about contacting an attorney that specializes in health care/insurance companies for a consultation?

Regards,
Dan

Dan, that sounds like a great idea. Hmm, wonder if I should consult w/a NY state attorney.

Thanks - Allan

Kim:

I don't know anything about this study (specificaly if it is single or multi-level), but this is what I was referring to (scroll to bottom of the page):

The Activ-L disc looks very good.

I might consider the Activ-L if Dr. Y thought I would be a good candidate for it *and* if it were an Activ-L versus Charite study (as opposed to an Activ-L versus fusion study).

I wonder if there's any way to get around study parameters re: having DDD only at two levels. I doubt it..

Is the Activ-L study only for single level? (I haven't investigated it that far yet)
