Managing the Cost of Spine Surgery

A laser spine surgery like eDiscSculpt^TM technique does cost a considerable amount of money. However, there are a range of expenses covered in that cost, including operating room fees, the anesthesiologist, the medications, and the laser. Because laser surgery is relatively quick and there is no need for a hospital stay, it may be less expensive than open spine surgery. And although it isn’t technically a line item, by avoiding open back surgery, the pain and downtime you also avoid are priceless.
The cost of laser spine surgery should be covered by your insurance, as long as your doctor is recommending the surgery as treatment. If you're not sure, contact your insurance provider to determine whether or not they'll cover it. Insurance coverage varies considerably based on your plan. If your copay or deductible is large, you may need to use financing to manage your spine surgery cost. There are a number of financing options available. Between insurance and financing, the majority of people who need laser spine surgery are able to afford it.
Only a doctor can determine which treatment is best for you, based on your symptoms, test results, and medical history. Click here to locate the Datta Endoscopic Back Surgery and Pain Center nearest you.
