Who all gets paid?

[Mystie 146]

So I want to get plastics in the future, at least an arm lift. Right now it looks like I have utters hanging from my upper and and, yeah, I know that skin's not going anywhere.

Is self pay plastics just like other medical bills where you have to pay a bill for the surgeon, the hospital, and the anesthesiologist? Or is there an all inclusive fee?

I would think it would vary by practice. It would depend on if the surgery was being performed in a surgicenter or a hospital. A surgicenter might group some of the fees, where as a hospital would bill separately.

Good luck!

If you have it done in the USA, it is very likely to be done on an outpatient basis. I have gone to 3 consults and the quote works this way in all cases:

surgeon and facilty fee is one bill

anethesia is a separate bill, but estimate is given by surgeon based on estimated surgical time

All of them have you buy the compression garments separately.

I expect my insurance should pay for the bloodwork and prescriptions.

If you go out of country, they tend to be quoted as all inclusive and I estimate cost half to a third of the cost of USA based surgery.
