Does ACDF Utilization and Reimbursement Change Based on Certificate of Need Status?

Conclusions: ACDF utilization increased most rapidly in the outpatient setting, and CON status did not appear to hinder growth. Reimbursement decreased across all settings, with the outpatient setting in non-CON states most affected. Surgeons should be aware of these trends in the changing health care environment.
