Nebraska Spine Hospital

What Nebraska Spine Hospital does

Nebraska Spine Hospital, LLC is a 34-bed physician-led specialty hospital in Omaha, Nebraska, exclusively dedicated to spine care since 2010. The hospital operates as a joint venture between CHI Health, Nebraska Spine Holdings (a physician-owned organization featuring surgeons from Nebraska Spine + Pain Center), and SCA Health, and is co-located within Immanuel Medical Center with six advanced surgical suites. Eight named board-certified orthopedic spine surgeons and neurosurgeons, all fellowship-trained in spinal care, deliver a comprehensive range of services including fracture repair, motion preservation procedures (cervical and lumbar total disc replacement), spinal fusion (XLIF, ALIF, TLIF, ACDF, and posterior cervical fusion), discectomy, laminectomy, scoliosis reconstruction, minimally invasive microscopic procedures, and spinal tumor surgery. Patient-facing resources include a 13-video patient education library and pre-operative spine classes held at the CHI Immanuel Conference Center, supported by nurse navigators across the pre- and post-surgical continuum.

The hospital's technology stack centers on three precision and safety systems: the O Arm Imaging System for real-time three-dimensional surgical imaging, intraoperative neuromonitoring for nerve location monitoring during procedures, and Stealth Navigation for instrument placement accuracy in complex surgeries. Patient satisfaction scores are reported at or above the 95th percentile, with quality outcomes consistently ranked among the best nationally since 2010. The institution holds Joint Commission Gold Seal of Approval accreditation, the region's only Spine Center of Excellence designation, and repeated recognition on Becker's Hospital Review's list of 100 Hospitals & Health Systems with Great Neurosurgery and Spine Programs.

The business model is a professional services hospital billing structure under standard chargemaster pricing, with separate bills issued for hospital services versus anesthesiologist, radiologist, and surgeon fees approximately two months post-service. The hospital accepts commercial insurance, Medicare, and Medicaid, and offers price transparency through a patient estimation tool and downloadable chargemaster files. Distribution is regional across Nebraska and the broader Midwest, with the main Omaha campus supplemented by five satellite clinic locations in Columbus, Fremont, Grand Island, Norfolk, and South Sioux City, plus an online appointment portal accessible via the Nebraska Spine + Pain Center website and a phone scheduling line at 855-SPINE12.
