Canadian getting a revision to new Synovo acetabular cup...any others out there?

I am scheduled in January to have a revision to my right hip done by Dr. Pritchett using the Synovo cup. It won't be cheap as I'm Canadian, and I am not betting on getting a BHR revision covered by MSP healthcare - even though I am at a loss to find someone in Canada who would even try (and likely with a lot of reservations if they would).

Has anyone tried out this new unit yet? Did Medicare help cover out of country claims?

Rock-Climber with L1 to S1 Spinal Fusion (w. S1 to S4 nerve Damage); R Conserve+ Dr. Antoniou Feb 17,'12. L Conserve+ August 17, 2012 with Antoniou. Revisions to Synovo Cups in 2015 by Dr. Pritchett: R On January 12, L on June 9th, with femoral unit revised, too (TARA prosthesis from Biopro)
