Cost of Cervical Disc Bulge Surgery

If you have a cervical bulging disc, you may quickly become amazed at the impact it has on your day-to-day life. From living with pain to dealing with neurological symptoms, to even facing progressive symptoms, you can find that your quality of life is drastically reduced. In addition, you may start to experience secondary symptoms as a result of the pain, such as insomnia and depression. That's why it's so important to get treatment as soon as possible if you have a bulging disc.

Cervical disc bulge surgery can be performed with two main methods. The first is traditional surgery, an invasive procedure which is performed in a hospital setting. The second is laser spine surgery, which is a minimally invasive procedure performed in an outpatient setting. In most cases, laser spine surgery can be used, which may lead to savings for some patients, in addition to better outcomes.

Costs

Surgery is an expensive endeavor, because it requires:

• Time commitment from highly trained professionals
  
• The use of facilities
  
• Medical supplies 
• Medication 
• For some surgeries, hospitalization
  
• Follow-up appointments
  
• Rehab

Fortunately, insurance is able to mitigate these costs. With the help of insurance, the majority of patients are able to afford their portion of the surgery with no hardship. In addition, many offices offer payment plans for people who aren't able to make their whole payment in one lump sum.

After undergoing surgery, most people find that the money and time commitment was of inestimable value. On a financial level, patients generally experience a boost in their work productivity, and a reduction in long-term healthcare costs. On a personal level, you simply can't place a price on living a life that is pain-free.
