Abstract
The study aim was to understand patient impressions of reimbursement to orthopedic spine surgeons. Our findings revealed that the majority of patients significantly overestimate the amount surgeons are reimbursed per procedure. Despite this, most feel that surgeons are appropriately compensated. Additionally, many patients are unaware of the global billing period.
