Update on Dr. Ronzo and Dr. Bono.
of Gulf Coast Spine Institute and Biospine in Tampa.
My daughter had the minimal invasive surgery yeaterday. All went as expected and 5 hours later she walked to the car!!!!
While at the Biospine location I did have a chance to talk to Dr. Bono about medicare. He confirmed again the new facility is not covered by medicare and could "take a year or two to get approved". That is approval for the facility. The doctors are coverd by medicare.
I know I stated it before but for me to have the surgery at their new facility would cost around $13,000. I am fortunate to have a condition that is chronic. And I can extend the time between episodes by being more careful.
I continue my search for medicare approved coverage for the minimally invasive procedure.
