Is a Cervical Disc Bulge Operation Expensive

A bulging disc occurs when one of the discs in the spine becomes misshapen and causes symptoms by pressing against the nerves. A cervical bulging disc is one that occurs in the neck. Most of the time, surgical treatment isn't necessary to relieve the symptoms of a bulging disc. However, you may be a candidate for a cervical disc bulge operation if your symptoms are severe, progressive, or have not responded to conservative treatments.

Surgery

If you do need surgery, laser spine surgery can be used in most cases. This has numerous advantages over traditional spine surgery, including:
  • Lower risk of infection 
  • Lower risk of bleeding and clotting
  • No large scar
  • No hospital stay 
  • Lower chance that major interventions like the addition of hardware will be needed
  • May be less costly
Cost

In this day and age, there is no such thing as an inexpensive surgery, and a cervical disc bulge operation is no exception. Without insurance, the majority of patients would not be able to afford the surgery. With insurance, you will only pay the amount of your deductible, which will be between zero and several thousand dollars depending on your coverage. If you do not have insurance, you should obtain insurance before undergoing surgery.

If your portion of the surgery is an issue, there are options available to ensure that you get the treatment you need. For example, some offices provide payment plans, which allow patients to spread the cost of the surgery over multiple payments. There are also third-party financing plans available.

Meeting with a physician can help you learn more about whether or not a procedure is right for you, and get a firmer grasp on what your portion of the procedure will come out to.
