Paying cash: what to do
- Ask for a bundled self-pay price that includes the surgeon, anesthesia, facility and follow-up visits; hospital file prices usually cover only the facility.
- Ask whether screws, rods, cages and bone graft are included, since implants can be a large part of the price.
- Consider a second opinion before a fusion.
