Why isn the Laser Spine Institute in contract with Medicare for the facility fee?
The Laser Spine Institute physicians are in contract with Medicare for the professional services that they provide. However, the LSI facility itself is not in contract with Medicare so a facility fee is incurred by the Medicare patient as an upfront out of pocket cost. LSI has the strongest desire to provide every patient with not only the most professional and qualified service from its surgeons and staff, but with the most state-of-the-art amenities and equipment from its cutting edge facility.
