How your money goes farthest
Move 1. Call and say “self-pay.” Ask for the all-in self-pay price and whether the doctor’s fee and anesthesia are included. Independent centers usually run far below hospitals for the same code.
Move 2. Do the travel math. For planned procedures, the spread between facilities is often thousands of dollars — more than a flight and a hotel.
Move 3. Use your financial-assistance rights. Nonprofit hospitals must offer financial assistance by federal law; you can apply up to 240 days after the first bill.
