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.
- If the surgery is planned rather than urgent, compare surgery centers, which often charge much less than hospitals.
- Ask whether any hospital stay is included if you need to stay overnight.
