Compare hospitals → What is back & neck surgery (non-fusion)?
Surgery on the back or neck other than spinal fusion, such as removing a herniated disc or relieving pressure on spinal nerves. The stay covers the operation, pain control, and early recovery.
Back & Neck Surgery (Non-Fusion) is billed under Medicare's MS-DRG 519 (with complications), classified within the Musculoskeletal diagnostic category. Hospitals publish gross charges per DRG under the federal Hospital Price Transparency Rule, but actual cost depends on insurance: insurers negotiate substantial discounts, Medicare and Medicaid pay fixed rates, and uninsured patients can often qualify for cash-pay discounts. Use the gross charge as a benchmark when comparing hospitals; a facility that lists a procedure at twice the price of another tends to charge higher rates across the board.
