Paying cash: what to do

  • Ask for one price that includes the surgeon, the anesthesia and the facility; they are often billed separately.
  • Ask whether the quote is for septoplasty alone or with other nasal surgery on the same day.
  • An ambulatory surgery center often costs less than a hospital operating room for the same surgery.
