A spinal fusion joins two or more vertebrae so they heal into one bone. It is used for instability, slipped vertebrae and some disc problems, most often in the lower back at L4-L5 or L5-S1, or in the neck as an ACDF. It is one of the most expensive common operations, because of the implants and the hospital stay.

Paying cash: what to do
- Ask for a bundled self-pay price that includes the surgeon, anesthesia, implants, facility and follow-up visits; hospital file prices usually cover only the facility.
- Ask how many levels are planned, since each extra level adds to the price.
- Get a second opinion before a fusion; physical therapy, injections or a smaller surgery such as a discectomy may be enough.
