Your Questions Answered: Spine Surgery FAQs From Our Patients

What does “minimally invasive surgery” mean?

Gone are the days of undergoing traditional open back surgery and a long, difficult recovery for those who suffer from neck or back conditions – minimally invasive surgery is the safer, more effective, and less painful alternative.

OLSS has developed a special minimally invasive technique that lessens recovery time and the pain associated with surgery by using tiny incisions and preserving the muscles and tissue surrounding your spine. The results are longer lasting and more effective than traditional surgery. For more on OLSS’s minimally invasive methodology, check out our blog on what “minimally invasive” really means and how it can help you find long-term pain relief.

Is spine surgery covered by insurance?

At Orthopedic & Laser Spine Surgery (OLSS), we recognize the crucial role that accessible healthcare plays in patients’ lives. Therefore, we accept a variety of spine surgery insurance plans to serve as many patients as possible. We partner with several major insurance providers.

It’s important to note that Orthopedic & Laser Spine Surgery does not accept HMO (Health Maintenance Organization) or EPO (Exclusive Provider Organization) plans for laser spine surgery coverage. This policy reflects our commitment to providing patient-focused care without the constraints typically imposed by these types of insurance plans.

Moreover, OLSS does not participate in Medicare or Medicaid programs for spine surgery coverage. This decision is based on various administrative and policy factors. Patients covered under Medicare or Medicaid are encouraged to consult their plan administrators for alternative spine and orthopedic care options.
