MySpineHealth
While spine surgery is an effective treatment for the right patient, the process can be very costly, stressful, and time-consuming. And in the end, surgery isn’t the right path for everyone.
If you do clinically qualify for spine surgery, we can make the process much smoother for you with MySpineHealth. This program takes an innovative approach to spine surgery that coordinates and “bundles” all of the services needed for a successful procedure and recovery—all while ensuring appropriate care and can result in a faster return to life and work. The experience is streamlined with the help of personal patient navigator, and health care costs are transparent and predictable.
This bundle includes coverage of three common and distinct spine procedures: cervical fusion, lumbar fusion and laminectomy.
