Let’s pray the hospital was indeed able to work this out with Horizon. I don’t want to think that they have been sending the bill to someone else or that the hospital has gone under and couldn’t afford to use the mail any longer. Spinal fusion is a major surgery and medical procedure used to treat back injuries, and the surgery involves using rods and screws, and bone grafts to stabilize the spine. The usual cost for spinal fusion surgery may vary depending on where on the spine the surgery is done, with the average cost for single-level anterior cervical discectomy and fusion at around $14,000 and single-level posterior lumbar fusion estimated at $26,000. Studies report that there is at least a 60% improvement in a patients pain after surgery. Sam is from New Jersey and is a JD candidate at Seton Hall Law.
