What it is
This lower-back surgery removes part of the bone (lamina) and, when needed, a herniated piece of disc to take pressure off a nerve root at one spinal level. It is often called a microdiscectomy and is done for leg pain (sciatica) that does not improve with other treatment.
What the price covers
The facility price covers the operating room and recovery. The surgeon, anesthesia and any overnight stay are usually billed separately.
Why prices differ
Prices differ between hospitals and surgery centers and with length of stay; each additional spinal level adds another code (63035).
What to ask
Ask whether the self-pay price for CPT 63030 includes the surgeon and anesthesia fees and covers only one spinal level.
