Blue Cross Denies Back Surgery For RN "I am faced with an insurance hell. Six days before a planned surgery, Blue Cross denied surgery for an artificial disc implantation or disc arthroplasty. This was on Wednesday, Jan. 23, 2008. The lumbar artificial disc by Synthes Spine called Prodisc was approved by the
FDA in August 2006. It is one of two
FDA-approved lumbar discs available," said Kim Kutcher of Dana Point, Calif.
