What it is

A lumbar interbody fusion removes a damaged disc in the lower back and fills the space with a spacer (cage) and bone graft so the two vertebrae grow together. PLIF and TLIF are the common approaches.

What the price covers

The hospital price usually covers the operating room, recovery and supplies. The surgeon and anesthesia usually bill separately, and screws or cages may be billed as implants.
