I never did ask if insurance would cover such a procedure. Hopefully it does as I have almost met my deductible for the year again. Thanks for keeping us posted.

Yes, PT is started after the brace is removed at 6 weeks. This continues for 2-3 days/week for 3-4 months. They did not mention any reduction in function other than having permanent weight restrictions. I hope I can speak with a patient that will give us a better idea what is involved.
They handlie the pre-authorization through your insurance.
