Will my insurance cover laser back surgery

Laser back surgery is a cutting-edge solution to common back conditions such as herniated discs and bone spurs. The procedure effectively treats common back conditions while reducing the recovery time and the risk of certain side effects. Patients quickly returning to their normal lives, symptom-free. While many back conditions can be treated without the use of laser back surgery, in cases where it is needed it can dramatically increase quality of life.

As necessary as surgery is, some patients worry that their insurance will not pay for such a cutting-edge procedure. However, the fact is that the majority of patients with insurance are able to get coverage for their surgery, leaving you with only your deductible or copay.

To ensure that you'll be covered by insurance, the biggest thing to do is to make sure that the doctor you're choosing accepts your insurance. To do this, you can either contact your insurance company for a list of doctors, or you can identify doctors you're interested in and contact them about whether they accept your insurance.

Next, you'll need to make sure you have proper documentation stating that the surgery is medically necessary. Most patients have no problem in this regard, but if your insurance company balks, you'll need to advocate for yourself.

If your copay or deductible represents a financial hardship, you should ask your doctor about resources such as payment plans, which allow you to spread the cost over a longer period of time.

With the help of insurance, the vast majority of patients are able to afford the surgery they need with only a few hundred or a few thousand dollars out of their own pocket.
