Pricing & Transparency

You should know the price before you decide

All-inclusive bundled pricing for endoscopic spine surgery and interventional pain care — surgeon, anesthesia, facility, and routine post-op follow-up in one number. No surprise bills.

Quick answer

The all-inclusive (bundled) price includes a non-refundable $250 initial consultation fee (applied to the surgeon fee if the procedure is performed), the surgeon, anesthesia, facility, and routine post-op follow-up — one figure, quoted in writing before you commit.

Affordable Outpatient Surgery

What the bundled price includes — and what it doesn’t

Cash payment for services must be made at the time services are rendered. If insurance is filed, these prices do not apply. Pre-op lab work, imaging, pathology, and diagnostic tests deemed necessary by the treating physician are billed separately.

Included in the bundled price
  • Initial consultation ($250, credited to surgeon fee)
  • Surgeon fee
  • Anesthesia
  • Facility fees
  • Routine post-op follow-up
Billed separately
  • Pre-op lab work
  • X-ray, MRI, or CT imaging
  • Pathology
  • Additional diagnostic tests the physician deems necessary
Pricing disclaimer: If insurance is filed, these prices do not apply. Bundled cash pricing is a free-market, consumer-driven approach and is separate from insurance billing.

Who bundled cash pricing works for

An ideal fit for patients who want to make the decision themselves — not have an insurance company make it for them.

01

Cash to decide for themselves

Not an insurance company making the medical decisions.

02

High insurance deductibles

When your deductible exceeds the bundled price, cash-pay is often the cheaper path outright.

03

Health Savings Accounts

HSA funds cover qualified spine care — and you’ll know the full spend up front.

04

ERISA & self-funded plans

Small businesses with partially self-funded plans can direct employees to transparent pricing.

Why transparency matters

Price transparency is how patients get real choices back

The high cost of healthcare is gripping the national conversation. Transparency of overall costs is leading the charge in offering options for affordable access and expenditure containment. For the first time, in May 2013 the federal government released charge data for common outpatient medical services in U.S. hospitals.

“Transparency of healthcare quality and cost information encourages providers and health plans to deliver high quality care; helps consumers make informed decisions about their care; and reduces healthcare spending.”

AARP public comment response to CMS, May 2013

“True rational prices emerge from competitive activity. Real and fair competition is what’s been missing from healthcare — the system has become muddled, the result of a cartel that includes the federal government, large hospitals, and big insurance companies, all of whom profit from the status quo at the expense of surgery centers and consumers.”

— Keith Smith, MD, Managing Partner, Surgery Center of Oklahoma, 2013 OR Excellence Conference
No cost. No obligation. Just the truth.
