A physical exam and certain tests are required for a herniated disc, such as X-rays, CT scans, MRIs, and myelogram. The cost for these tests is generally a part of the package.
Any medicines prescribed by the doctors at the hospital are included in the package. If the patient buys medications from outside the hospital, they will not be included in the package.
Generally, you need to spend 1 - 4 days at the hospital after the treatment. Your hospital stay will also depend on the specific type of surgery you had and your general health. You need to visit your doctor a week or two after the treatment to ensure your recovery is going well. You might need to have stitches removed.
After the surgery, you will need to get physical therapy to return to your normal lifestyle, which can be achieved in 2 to 8 weeks. Anything beyond the surgery is not covered in the package.
Unfortunately, herniated disc procedure is not covered by health insurance. But if you want to file an insurance claim for a herniated disc, you need to provide sufficient evidence that caused your injury to the insurance company.
If you don’t want to go for surgery, physical therapy, relaxation, and positioning could be helpful alternatives to a herniated disc.

My Laminectomy was done at Bangpakok Hospital, and I must say that the people here are very nice, and I loved the service. Thank you!
