Each day, we receive a number of questions regarding whether a procedure could be covered by insurance and the differences between an “insurance” and a “cosmetic” procedure.
First, there are a number of conditions that can significantly affect functional activities (e.g. driving, reading). Patients presenting with these conditions may be covered by insurance, if the exam also shows this. Cosmetic procedures are those not covered by insurance and, therefore, are an out-of-pocket expense.
Second, I make no distinction between an “insurance” and a “cosmetic” procedure. I approach each surgery with the goal of achieving a result you desire.
Bottom Line: The only difference between a “cosmetic” procedure and an “insurance” procedure is who is paying for it.
In-office cosmetic consultations are $100 and may be applied to the cost of your procedure. During your consultation you will receive a detailed quote outlining the total surgical costs, including operating room and anesthesia fees.
A non-refundable $250 deposit is required to reserve your surgery date. The remaining balance is due at the pre-op visit one to two weeks prior to surgery. We accept cash and credit cards. Patient finance plans with affordable monthly payments are also available.
I perform my procedures at a Medicare-approved facility that meets the same standards as a hospital operating room.
