Frequently Asked Questions: Procedure Costs
Why does a surgery or procedure have multiple separate bills?â–¼
Healthcare facilities separate procedure billing into three distinct components: the surgeon's professional fee, the facility operating room fee, and the anesthesiologist's professional fee. Hospitals and outpatient surgery centers bill these separately.
What is a bundled fair market price?â–¼
A bundled fair market price combines the physician fee, facility fee, and anesthesia fee into one realistic total based on customary insurance allowable reimbursement baselines, rather than inflated chargemaster sticker prices.
How do I ask for a cash-pay discount before surgery?â–¼
Contact the hospital patient financial counseling department 1 to 2 weeks before your scheduled date. State that you are self-pay or paying out-of-pocket, and offer to pay the bundled fair cash target in full on or before the day of surgery.
