The total cost of a lumbar discectomy is around $14,980.00 to $15,000.00
In some cases the lumbar discectomy surgery can be as high as $30,000.00 to $50,000.00 but most lumbar discectomy surgeries are around $15,000.00 in cost.
Your health insurance should either cover the cost of the lumbar discectomy in full or at least partial but since lumbar discectomy is usually a medical need then health insurance usually covers the cost of the lumbar discectomy surgery.
However while health insurance should cover a large portion of the lumbar discectomy surgery you may have to pay a small deductible as well as coinsurance.
So having health insurance will help a lot with paying for expensive surgeries and other expensive medical procedures.
