Michigan Head and Spine Institute

What Michigan Head and Spine Institute does

Michigan Head and Spine Institute (MHSI) is a physician-owned, private medical practice group headquartered in Novi, Michigan, that delivers specialty care for disorders of the brain, head, neck, and spine across Southeast Michigan. The practice operates six clinical locations in Royal Oak, Novi (headquarters), Clinton Township, Canton, Dearborn, and Detroit, co-located with Corewell Health (formerly Beaumont Health), Henry Ford St. John, and affiliated hospital systems where MHSI physicians hold surgical privileges. MHSI maintains an active web presence (mhsi.com), social channels on Facebook, LinkedIn, Twitter, and YouTube, and a Zoom-based telehealth service for back pain, neck pain, and brain conditions.

MHSI's clinical portfolio spans five core service lines: neurosurgery (including minimally invasive, robotic, endoscopic, neuroendovascular, and Gamma Knife radiosurgery techniques, plus deep brain stimulation and pediatric neurosurgery), physiatry (physical medicine and rehabilitation), neuropsychology, medical acupuncture, and anesthesiology/pain management. The practice fields a team of approximately 15 named subspecialty physicians with training from institutions such as Harvard, University of Michigan, UCSF, Michigan State, and the Philadelphia College of Osteopathic Medicine. Surgical capabilities include ALIF, TLIF, minimally invasive posterior screw fixation, Chiari malformation decompression, skull base and acoustic neuroma surgery, neuroendovascular stroke and aneurysm treatment, and deep brain stimulation for movement disorders.

MHSI's revenue model is fee-for-service clinical care billed through insurance, supplemented by physician-owned ancillary revenue streams (outpatient interventional procedure rooms, MRI, CT, X-ray, physical therapy, and durable medical equipment) at affiliated facilities. The practice participates in most major insurance plans, offers telehealth visits, and acquires patients through phone inquiries, online appointment requests, physician referrals, and digital/SEO-driven patient education content. MHSI is a private, independent practice group with no parent company, no disclosed institutional ownership, and no evidence of venture or private equity investment.

Revenue model

1. Clinical Services Revenue: MHSI generates revenue through providing medical consultations, diagnostic procedures, surgical interventions, and ongoing patient care across neurosurgery, physiatry, neuropsychology, acupuncture, and pain management services. Revenue is derived from insurance reimbursements, patient copays, and out-of-pocket payments.
2. Ancillary Services: MHSI physicians have financial interest in ancillary services including outpatient interventional procedure rooms, MRI, CT, X-ray imaging, physical therapy, and DME equipment (neck and spine braces). These generate additional revenue streams from services provided within their owned facilities.

• Cleveland Clinic: Major academic health system with nationally recognized neurosurgery and spine programs; comparable as an overlapping specialty provider, though operating as a broad incumbent rather than an independent practice.
• Corewell Health: Large Michigan health system (formerly Beaumont) where MHSI physicians hold privileges and own ancillaries; a key channel partner and broad incumbent that overlaps in neuro/spine service delivery across the same geography.
• Henry Ford Health: Major Detroit-area health system where MHSI physicians practice and where Dr. Gilmer serves as Division Chief of Pediatric Neurosurgery; comparable as a regional incumbent providing overlapping neuro and spine services.

Emerging players

• Trios Health / Trios Neurosurgery: Mid-size health system with neurosurgery service line relevant to MHSI's spine and brain practice mix; an emerging regional peer showing how smaller systems package neuro services competitive with independents.
