EXPAREL in Spine Surgery: Aligning Reimbursement, Access, and Opioid Reduction in Real-World Practice

Spine teams are being asked to reduce opioids without compromising recovery, especially as cases shift to outpatient. Daniel Michael Sciubba, MD, MBA, discusses an ERAS-aligned multimodal strategy and how EXPAREL® is used in complex spine procedures, with practical considerations for pathway design and implementation. The program concludes with a discussion of evolving reimbursement frameworks and access considerations that can help offset cost barriers to eligible non-opioid approaches.
