Neck spinal fusion

Quality: 3 of 5 (CMS overall rating)Earliest available date: call (360) 417-7000

What you may pay

With insurance from an employer or private plan: No price posted for commercial insurance.
Paying yourself (cash price): No cash price posted. Ask the hospital for a Good Faith Estimate.

These are prices the hospital published, not a quote. With insurance you usually pay part of the rate (your deductible and coinsurance); the estimator on the procedure page works it out. A higher price does not mean better care.

Doctors usually bill separately. At most hospitals these are the hospital’s own charges. The surgeon, radiologist, anesthesiologist or pathologist usually sends a separate bill: ask each of them for an estimate too.

Doctors here who do this procedure

1 doctor affiliated with Olympic Medical Center billed Traditional Medicare for Neck spinal fusion in 2024, most Medicare services first. See all doctors and practices, including those with no hospital affiliation.

For this hospital stay, the list shows surgeons who billed Traditional Medicare for the main operation: Neck (cervical) fusion from the front with disc removal (CPT 22551); Neck fusion from the back (CPT 22600). A surgeon’s bill doesn’t say whether the patient stayed in the hospital or how the stay was grouped, so the counts can include the same operation done as an outpatient and stays billed under a related DRG (for example, one with complications).

Reading the doctor list

A higher price doesn’t mean better care. The quality score and the price come from different CMS files and are shown separately on purpose.
The amount is what Traditional Medicare (original Medicare) approved for the doctor’s or lab’s own service: Medicare’s payment plus the patient’s share. It is not what commercial insurance or Medicare Advantage pays, and the hospital or surgery center bills separately (surgery centers aren’t in this list).
The Medicare quality score is CMS’s MIPS final score (0 to 100), based mostly on the doctor’s Medicare patients. About half of doctors aren’t scored, so Not rated says nothing bad about a doctor. A group’s score covers everyone in the group.
CMS doesn’t publish counts under 11 patients, so doctors who rarely bill Medicare for this aren’t listed, and No price published means CMS has no amount for that setting.
Medicare’s file doesn’t say where a doctor did the procedure, only that they billed it in Washington. Affiliations are the hospitals each doctor lists with Medicare.
