Is Cervical Disc Hernia Surgery Covered by Insurance

Cervical disc hernias can cause symptoms ranging from mild to severe, and a variety of treatments are used depending on the particular case. Most instances of this condition can be treated using non-invasive procedures like physical therapy and medication. In some cases, though, the disc won't respond to treatment, or the symptoms are so severe that dramatic intervention is needed. In those cases, cervical disc hernia surgery will be used to actually remove the disc hernia, thus relieving symptoms and bringing a long-term resolution to the condition.

Importance of Treatment


There are many downsides to not getting prompt treatment for a cervical disc hernia, and no benefits to delaying treatment. Without treatment, you can develop issues related to chronic pain, like depression, insomnia, and decreased immune response. In addition, if the hernia is severe and getting progressively worse you may be at risk of developing serious symptoms, so prompt intervention is essential to your long-term health.

Insurance

If you need cervical disc hernia surgery, your insurance should cover the cost of the procedure as outlined in your insurance plan. This procedure is a medically necessary procedure, and it is only recommended in cases where no other treatment would suffice. Of course, you will want to ensure that the physician you choose takes your insurance before making an appointment.

Most people don't have any trouble paying their portion of the surgery - indeed, your insurance plan should be chosen in part based on whether or not you would be able to afford your deductible should you need major medical intervention. If your portion does present a hardship, there are options available. Many doctors offer payment plans, and you can also look into third-party financing options.
