OHIP Coverage Outside Canada

Hello, I have severe lower back pain and foot numbness from bulging and degenerating discs, as well as bone spurs caused by osteoarthritis. Both these issues are causing nerve compression.
I am on opioids, Lyrica and vitamins to help with pain management but I believe artificial disc replacement would allow me to return to a full and healthy lifestyle. However I am unable to get this surgery in Ontario. There are 2 potential clinics in Germany that perform this surgery. I am wondering what if anything would or could OHIP cover?
Thank you,
