Cash or insurance?

At the one hospital here that publishes insurer rates for this code, the cash price is below the highest rate a health plan has negotiated. If you have insurance but have not met your deductible, you usually pay your plan's negotiated rate, which falls somewhere in the "Insurers pay" column. Paying cash can cost less, but a cash payment usually does not count toward your deductible. Ask the hospital for both numbers before you book.

What it is

An ACDF removes a damaged disc in the neck through a small incision in the front, and fuses the two vertebrae.

What the price covers

The hospital price usually covers the operating room, recovery and supplies. The surgeon and anesthesia usually bill separately.
