NYC Back Surgeons Costs and Locations

If you have a back condition like a herniated disc, and have not found relief with non-surgical treatments, you may need back surgery. Although there are some costs associated with back surgery, using minimally invasive options and finding the right NYC back surgeon can help keep those costs to a minimum.

Costs

Many factors affect the cost of back surgery. Some of the most important factors include: 

• Insurance coverage - Your insurance should cover any back surgery deemed medically necessary, but the exact terms of coverage can vary from plan to plan. You should contact your insurance provider for details about your coverage for your procedure. In addition, be sure to choose a doctor who accepts your insurance.
• The physician - Some costs are unavoidable, but doctors can keep costs to a minimum by running an efficient office and passing on those savings to clients. 
• Type of surgery - Minimally invasive surgeries tend to cost less than open spine surgery, since they are shorter, require fewer resources, and do not necessitate a hospital stay. In addition, surgeries that address numerous problems will be more costly.
• Recovery time - Surgeries with a lengthier recovery time require more medication, more follow-up appointments, and more time away from work. 

With insurance coverage, the majority of patients are able to manage the costs of their back surgery. Insurance providers can no longer deny coverage for preexisting conditions, so it's recommended that you obtain insurance before seeking treatment for your back condition.
