Question 1

What is a spine ambulatory surgery center (ASC)?

Accepted Answer

An ambulatory surgery center (ASC) is an outpatient surgical facility where spine procedures — such as discectomy, laminectomy, and spinal fusion — are performed without an overnight hospital stay. ASCs typically have lower infection rates and faster discharge times than inpatient hospitals for appropriate surgical candidates.

Question 2

How do I find an accredited spine surgery center near me?

Accepted Answer

Use the search or filter tools on this page to find accredited spine facilities by location, facility type, or name. Each facility listing shows verified accreditation status, OR counts, and affiliated staff rosters so you can compare options before contacting a facility.

Question 3

What is the difference between a spine hospital and an ASC?

Accepted Answer

A spine hospital provides both inpatient and outpatient surgical care, typically for more complex or high-risk procedures requiring post-operative monitoring. An ASC handles outpatient-only procedures for medically appropriate patients and usually offers lower costs and quicker discharge. Your surgeon will recommend the appropriate setting based on the procedure and your health status.

Question 4

What should I look for when choosing a spine surgery facility?

Accepted Answer

Key factors include accreditation status (Joint Commission, AAAHC, or CMS certification), the number of spine-trained surgeons on staff, annual procedure volume for your specific surgery type, infection rates, and whether the facility participates with your insurance plan. Spine.co displays verified staff rosters and OR counts to help you compare facilities side by side.
