Austin Brain and Spine

What Austin Brain and Spine does

Austin Brain and Spine is a private neurosurgical medical practice headquartered in Austin, Texas, founded in 1999 and operating as part of the HCA Healthcare network. The practice provides comprehensive spine and brain care across the full spectrum of neurosurgical conditions, including spinal disorders (stenosis, degenerative disease, disc herniations, trauma, and tumors), brain tumors (gliomas, meningiomas, acoustic neuromas, metastatic disease), neurovascular disorders (aneurysms, AVMs), chronic pain syndromes including trigeminal neuralgia, peripheral nerve disorders, and brain and spine trauma. Core procedural offerings include computer image-guided brain tumor surgery, stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) using linear accelerator with robotics and real-time image guidance, epilepsy surgery with vagal nerve stimulation, and multidisciplinary neuro-oncology treatment planning. The practice employs fellowship-trained neurosurgeons with over 100 years of combined experience, described as the deepest bench in Central Texas, and operates a multidisciplinary neuro-oncology tumor board and weekly epilepsy conference.

The practice operates eight clinic locations across Central and South Austin, Bastrop, Georgetown, Marble Falls, and San Marcos, with major surgical procedures performed at St. David's Medical Center and trauma care historically provided at University Medical Center Brackenridge. Supporting patient services include telehealth visits via the Healow platform, a ClinicalWorks patient portal, online bill pay, and medical records access. Strategic partnerships include MD Anderson Cancer Center and The University of Texas for neuro-oncology outreach, and Head for the Cure and Livestrong Cancer Program for community cancer support. The practice has served as Principal Investigator for LDR Spine's Mobi-C Cervical Artificial Disc study (FDA-approved August 2013) and participates in NIH STTR Phase 1/2 research on hydrogel polymer film technology.

Revenue is generated through professional services billing for surgical procedures, consultations, diagnostic services, and follow-up care, with claims submitted to major insurance carriers and Medicare. Co-payments are collected at time of service, and Good Faith Estimates are available for uninsured patients. Marketing is driven by physician referrals within the HCA Healthcare network, community outreach through local media (KXAN Studio 512), and direct-to-patient acquisition via the practice website, patient portal, and telehealth offerings. Customer segments are individual patients across use-case categories (spinal disorder, brain tumor, neurovascular, chronic pain, peripheral nerve, and trauma patients) rather than enterprise accounts.
