Plastic Surgery Costs and Financial Information
Reconstructive Surgery Costs:
Many plastic surgery procedures are reconstructive in nature and are thus covered by your health insurance plan. If your plastic surgeon determines during your initial reconstructive surgery consultation* that your need is medically necessary, he or she will work closely with your insurance plan to provide medical documentation and obtain authorization for surgical services. Once surgical authorization is obtained from the insurance company, the reconstructive surgery can be scheduled.
* Please note that you remain responsible for any co-payments or deductibles your insurance company may require for fulfilling the costs of reconstructive surgery. Please also note that many managed care/HMO insurance plans require you to obtain a referral from your Primary Care Provider (PCP) before you are able to meet with the plastic surgeon for the initial consultation.
Cosmetic Surgery Costs:
Your insurance company will not cover any cosmetic surgery fees or services it does not consider medically necessary. If that is the case, you will responsible for all cosmetic surgery fees associated with your care. The initial consultation fee is approximately $150, depending on the type of consultation. Please note that this fee is non-refundable, even if you decide not to pursue cosmetic surgery. Payment is expected at the time of visit. We accept cash, checks, Visa, Mastercard and Discover. We do not accept American Express.
At the end of your initial consultation, if you indicate that you are interested in having cosmetic surgery, your physician will be able to provide you with a price quotation for the surgery, including the surgeon's fees, hospital fees, and anesthesia fees (where applicable). Costs of cosmetic plastic surgery can vary considerably, depending on the type and length of the procedure. All fees for cosmetic surgery must be paid prior to surgery. We accept cash, checks, Visa, Mastercard and Discover. We do not accept American Express.
