Individuals enrolled in Apple Health (Medicaid), Public Employees Benefits Board, and School Employees Benefits Board coverage - and those accessing behavioral health services - will not experience a disruption in care due to the federal government shutdown. In addition, health care providers will continue to be paid for the services they provide. We will continue to monitor the situation closely and share updates if anything changes.
Artificial disc replacement (ADR) are disc prostheses developed to mimic the decompressive and supportive properties of intervertebral discs.
ADR was first reviewed by the HTA program in 2008.
Status: Decision completed
ADR was selected for rereview based on new literature identified which may invalidate aspects of the previous report. This report addresses issues of efficacy, safety, and cost and compares ADR (cervical and lumbar) to current alternative treatments including fusion and nonsurgical treatment.
