Cash Payment

Self-Pay & Cash Pay Patients get great care and save here.

Cash pay patients, patients with very high deductible plans or uninsured patients can save at Same Day Surgery Center. Many hospitals and surgery centers charge these patients up to 40 times the Medicare rate. We think that’s silly. Sometimes it’s best to leave insurance out it. Our straightforward approach often provides significant financial and practical advantages for outpatient procedures. An oddity of the American healthcare system is that sometimes things are more expensive with insurance than without. But why? Let’s take a look.

Substantial Cost Savings

Cash pay patient rates are typically 40-60% lower than insurance-billed rates. Surgery centers like ours often offer discounted pricing because they are able to avoid expensive insurance processing costs, administrative overhead, and lengthy reimbursement delays.
The ugly truth of American medicine is that uninsured patients often pay fees that are 200-2000% higher than insured patients. But we don’t play that game. Another unfortunate truth is that insurance companies often deny modern services as experimental despite decades of literature to the contrary.

Complete Price Transparency

When you work with us, you will receive upfront, all-inclusive pricing with no hidden fees. The quoted price covers the facility fee, surgeon fee, anesthesia, and any standard supplies needed for your procedure.

Faster Scheduling

Skip the insurance pre-authorization process, which can take weeks or months. Cash pay patients often get scheduled within days, allowing you to address your medical needs promptly.

Access to Premium Facilities

Specializing in cash pay services, our high-quality, accredited ambulatory surgery center offers state-of-the-art equipment, experienced eye surgeons, and personalized care in comfortable, efficient settings.

Simplified Process

No insurance claims, deductibles, or copayments to navigate. The process is straightforward: schedule your procedure, pay the agreed amount, and receive your surgery without bureaucratic complications.

Financial Flexibility

We offer the ultimate discounts for upfront payment. Some procedures cost less than your insurance deductible, making it an economical choice even for those with high-deductible insurance plans.

Streamlined Experience

Cash pay patients often receive priority scheduling and expedited service. The absence of insurance verification allows for a more efficient, patient-focused experience from consultation to recovery.
Insurance companies have other tactics that delay or deny service or steer you away from the best long-term interests of the patients. This is particularly true in the realm of glaucoma, corneal transplant, and eyelid surgery.
