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 the implant, physical therapy and any overnight stay are included.
- Surgery centers and direct-pay programs often publish one all-in price that is far below hospital prices.
