2. The treatment options include non-surgical pain management strategies and surgical replacement procedures.
3. Information about the activL artificial disc reimbursement resource line is available on the website to help surgeons and patients navigate lumbar total disc replacement reimbursement. The reimbursement includes preauthorization.
4. The Resource Line includes information on motion preservation and expert coders can help physicians and patients understand their coverage policies.

“Lumbar total disc replacement technology is no longer an investigational technology,” said Scott Blumenthal, MD, of Texas Back Institute in Plano. “Guiding patients to experienced arthroplasty surgeons can increase patient access to lumbar TDR.”
