Hi Anthony, I have a question.
Will insurance pay to have the stimulator removed. I believe I have good cause for the removal but not sure my pain doctor sees it like I do.
thanks

No .. insurance will pay .. I had over 60k spent myself trying to fix myself threw treatments .. my insurance would not cover me any more when it went above 40k they pulled the plug .. I was a customer of there’s 30yrs .. I would never bother again ..

Depends on insurance possibly but if you want it out, i dont see how you can be refused. Pls if thats your decision FIGHT for removal, 2 surgeons tried "stonewalling' and placating me to just leave mine in...I cant prove it but I had 7 bulging discs and 1 badly herniated 4 months after inplant. I read these devices can indirectly contribute to this. Gd luck.!
