About neck (cervical) spinal fusion, no complications
MS-DRG 473 is the inpatient stay for a cervical spinal fusion without complications: typically an anterior cervical discectomy and fusion (ACDF) for a herniated disc or narrowing in the neck pressing on a nerve or the spinal cord. The stay is usually one night.
What the price covers
The DRG price is the hospital's charge for the whole stay: operating room, implants (plate, screws, cage or bone graft), room, nursing and supplies. The surgeon and anesthesiologist bill separately, as does any post-operative rehabilitation. One-level ACDFs are increasingly done as outpatient procedures billed with CPT codes, usually at lower cost.
Why prices vary
Spine surgery has some of the highest and most variable hospital prices. Implant costs, surgeon preference for specific hardware and system size all show up. The spread between hospitals in one metro area is commonly two to four times.
