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 for the price of the whole operation, since several codes are often billed together.
- Ask how many physical therapy visits are expected, since rehab is a large part of the cost.
