Not all patients are candidates for outpatient surgery. Your surgeon will determine the appropriate setting based on your health history, the procedure's complexity, and anticipated recovery needs.

Insured patients should check their plan's Summary of Benefits and contact their insurer for a pre-authorization cost estimate. Your out-of-pocket cost depends on your deductible, copay or coinsurance, and whether the provider is in-network. Even with insurance, comparing hospitals can help you choose a provider where your plan negotiates the best rates.
