How much would a facet block infiltration procedure cost in the US? Just curious.
Here, to the patient at least, they're free. I know, I just had them done on my lower back and was charged not a cent. In fact over the past seven months I've seen my new doctor about 5 times, was referred to two specialists both of whom I have now seen, and had one procedure done for the above mentioned injections.
(facet block infiltration is basically in lay terms called "cortisone injections")
I wonder what all that would have cost me in the states? I have yet to recieve a bill for anything here, and the level of care has been quite exemplary.
The big bad evil Canadian health care system at work. lol
