I just checked with my local pain management clinic and was told it will be 4,274 for a discogram/discography of the lumbar spine and 1,728 if you need the associated lumbar facet block
The procedure was the worst pain I have ever felt. I am still in pain a week after.
A discogram (discography) is a diagnostic tool for your surgeon used to diagnose or pinpoint the area causing pain in your back. A discogram, or discography is a pre-surgical diagnostic tool, where the injection of local anesthetic and dye is injected into the disc. Discography is used to determine which disk level(s) is painful, and is usually used a precursor to surgery. A minimum of two disks will are injected. If you have x-ray findings of disk problems at many levels you may need more disks injected.
An air discogram is a diagnostic procedure used to assess the internal structure of a spinal disc. During the procedure, air is injected into the disc, and imaging techniques such as X-rays or CT scans are used to evaluate the disc's integrity and detect any abnormalities. This information can help guide decisions about potential treatment options for spinal conditions.
I was given a copy of the bill for mine that they sent the insurance company. It was $9104.00 total with sedation. I about fell over but from what I have seen now with some research it is on the high end of the cost range.
