Compare hospitals → What is back & neck surgery (non-fusion)?
An operation on the back or neck that does not fuse bones of the spine together, such as removing part of a damaged disc or relieving pressure on a nerve. Patients are usually up and walking soon after surgery, with a short recovery stay.
Back & Neck Surgery (Non-Fusion) is billed under Medicare's MS-DRG 520 (without 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.
