Health Insurance United health care will not pay for back surgery

I had back surgery in 12-07 & United health care says my surgery was not medically necessary! I was in excruciating pain for 7 years before I decided to undergo surgery in the Laser Spine In. In Tampa. The total cost of the surgery is $70,000.00 & as of today-united health-care says that their doctors say that I got surgery for my convenience & not for my necessity. I do not know where to go from here. If anyone out there has any advice, please let me know...do I contact a lawyer that i cannot afford? j
