Insurance Shouldn't Be Your Doctor

Insurance companies are designed to control financial risk, not optimize your biomechanics or long-term spine outcomes. Dr. Brent Kimball of DISC Neurosurgery & Spine in Lone Tree, CO explains why fusion fits old insurance approval models while disc replacement is often denied, leaving patients to wrongly assume they were not candidates. The medical answer should always come before the insurance answer. Dr. Kimball's approach is to determine what is right for your anatomy and outcomes first, then navigate the system to get it approved. If you have been denied disc replacement or told fusion is your only covered option, request a motion-preserving case review today.
