Cost of 2-level lumbar fusion
Hi All,
Can anyone share an approximate cost of a 2-level lumbar fusion surgery in the US? I am just looking for a ballpark figure. Thanks in advance!

I am not sure Roman as it is probably varied due to different insurances. Probably a lot more than in Europe w/o insurance on an apples-to-apples compare.
Are you doing okay?

I am doing OK more or less. Recovery is a bitch. Just needed to know an approximate cost in the US to have something to show to the insurance company. Thanks anyway!
