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 lab exam of the removed tissue and any overnight stay are included.
- Ask how many thyroid operations the surgeon does a year; experience lowers complication rates.
