Compare hospitals → What is neck fusion & other back surgery?
Surgery to join (fuse) bones in the neck, or other operations on the back or neck, not including disc removal or nerve decompression. The stay covers the operation, pain control, and early recovery.
Neck Fusion & Other Back Surgery is billed under Medicare's MS-DRG 321, 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.
