A member asked:

I just found out i need foraminotomy surgery, i do not have health insurance though so i am curious of what the cost would be? any kind of estimate

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Spine surgery: Most states have a pool of money for health care for people who work and have no insurance. It is called vocational rehabilitation. Check with your surgeon to see if the practice accepts this type of insurance.
