VIEW OUR FEES

It is important to note that the out-of-pocket costs to a patient may differ from the prices in these lists because:

  • Your physician may end up ordering other procedures, more testing, or utilizing additional drugs or supplies during the actual surgery, so the cost of the procedure may be different than what is shown.
  • Your insurance may negotiate rates with our health system, and your particular plan design and where you are at during the year with regards to your deductible and out-of-pocket maximum can largely affect what you will be expected to pay out-of-pocket for your visit.
  • If you do not have insurance, are underinsured, or if paying the full amount for treatment would cause financial significant difficulties, please contact us for financial assistance options, which may reduce the out-of-pocket costs for your visit.
