Ask your Deuk Spine surgery scheduler if a guarantee is available for your upcoming surgery.

  • You will be required to pay the full charge for the surgery center, the surgeon and anesthesiologist 1 week before your surgery.
  • You must sign the Deuk Spine Surgical Guarantee agreement 1 week before your surgery.

  • This is NOT a money back guarantee.
  • All testing and treatment covered under the guarantee must be performed at Deuk Spine Institute by our staff and physicians.

Guarantee Details

Surgeries and procedures we Do not Guarantee

Guarantees are reserved for treatments expected to be curative of back or neck pain. Not all treatments offered at Deuk Spine Institute are curative; therefore, guarantees are only available for procedures known to cure back or neck pain as determined by Deuk Spine Institute.

The following are not covered in the guarantee:

  • Normal healing discomfort including procedure pain and discomfort from healing muscles and joints after surgery
  • Medications
  • Services provided outside Deuk Spine Institute
  • Airfare
  • Travel expenses
  • Testing or treatment not prescribed by Deuk Spine Institute
  • Testing or treatment not provided at Deuk Spine Institute
  • Injuries due to patient negligence or non-compliance
  • Areas of the spine that were not treated or covered under the guarantee

These procedures do not qualify for a guarantee because they do not cure pain and often cause more pain after surgery:

  • Laminectomy
  • Discectomy / Microdiscectomy
  • Artificial Disc-TDR
  • Discseel
  • MILD Procedure
  • Spinal Cord Stimulator
  • Epidural Steroid Injection
  • Facet Radiofrequency Ablation (RFA)

  • Interspinous & Interlaminar Devices
  • ALIF
  • XLIF

Essentially, we guarantee the surgery will eliminate your pain in the area of the spine we are operating on, for example back pain or neck pain.

  • If any pain remains, we will perform all necessary tests and treatments available to eliminate residual pain in the area of the spine that was treated under the guarantee. For example, if you have lower back pain treated under a Deuk Spine Surgical Guarantee and the pain remains or returns after surgery at the same location within the warranty period, Deuk Spine Institute will perform all necessary tests and treatments available to diagnose and eliminate the residual or recurrent pain at NO cost to the patient or their insurer.
