They never told me any exact figures for a success rate or failure. I think I mentioned that before. I saw a surgeon on Tuesday about fusion and he told me he did 125 fusions in a year I don't know if he meant this year which would be almost like a fast food restaurant so he must have meant for a whole year. He wouldn't give me success rate he just told me it was a common procedure his bread and butter. Have you been able to get more exact information about success rates?

If it is so common why does the intercept people provide staff to fight with your insurance company. I waited for a year of them fighting with my insurance company. I gave in and paid the $20k out of my own pocket. There is a reason insurance companies won’t pay for it and its because it does not work as advertised.
