Thank you, Carly.
I'm Morgan Lurio.
I'm past president of ISAS and chair emeritus for the Coding and Reimbursement Task Force.
Okay, Carly.
Well, this isn't about a scope.
It's about whether patients can access spine care where they live.
If rural patients have to drive four hours for a 60-minute decompression, then the system is misaligned.
Bread and butter spine surgery should be local, sustaining community-based private practices, and complex revision strategies should remain in tertiary care centers.
That's how access and expertise coexist.
Well, when a spine surgeon leaves a rural region, care doesn't get delayed.
It vanishes.
A procedure doesn't improve access if it can't fit inside the building.
Well, transformation isn't about expanding benefits.
It's about making delivery viable.
And rural hospitals don't fail because surgeons lack skill.
They fail because systems lack margins.
Well, because disposable platforms behave like access enablers, not cost drivers.
They lower the minimum volume needed to sustain a program.
So the future of spine isn't hospital versus ASC.
It's variable cost versus fixed cost.
