What is neck (cervical) spinal fusion?

A planned operation to join (fuse) bones in the neck to steady the spine and relieve pressure on nerves, in patients without complicating conditions. The stay covers the surgery, pain control, and early recovery.

Neck (Cervical) Spinal Fusion is billed under Medicare's MS-DRG 473 (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.
