Our prices are public. No surprises.
We're out-of-network with all insurers. You pay our professional fee directly, and the facility bills your insurance for hospital care, anesthesia, labs and imaging as usual.
Our prices are public. Our methods are explained.
The prices are our professional fee: the surgeon's fee for the operation itself, and the care around it. That includes your pre-operative planning, the surgery, and your routine post-operative follow-up with us.
† Exact fee quoted at your consult based on complexity. Out-of-network benefits? We provide complete documentation for reimbursement. If out-of-network isn't right for you, we'll refer you to excellent surgeons who bill insurance traditionally.
It does not include what the hospital charges. Facility fees, anesthesia, pathology, labs and imaging are billed separately by the hospital and by those providers, and those bills go to your insurance in the normal way.
Why we publish a range, not just an average
Endometriosis surgery is not one operation. A straightforward excision and a case involving bowel, bladder, ureters or diaphragm are different pieces of work, and pretending otherwise with a single number would mislead you. So we publish the range and the maximum alongside the average, and you get an exact figure at your consult once we know what we're treating.
If you're considering excision and hysterectomy, the fees are added together rather than bundled. The hysterectomy average sits near the bottom of its range because once the excision is complete, the hysterectomy is usually straightforward: the bowel, bladder and ureters have already been cleared.
The full fee schedule
Above are the figures that matter for planning. We don't publish our complete line-by-line schedule on the website, and that's a deliberate choice rather than an omission: an unannotated schedule invites you to add up every small item and arrive at a number that is simply wrong, because many of them are bundled.
You'll receive the full schedule at or after your consult, with someone to walk you through it. Ask for it any time.
Out-of-network, in plain terms
Out-of-network means we don't bill your insurer directly. It doesn't necessarily mean you get nothing back. Many plans reimburse a portion of out-of-network surgical care, and we provide complete documentation, including operative reports, codes and itemized receipts, so you can claim.
If out-of-network isn't right for your situation, tell us. We'll refer you to excellent surgeons who bill insurance traditionally. We would rather you had the right operation somewhere else than the wrong one here.
Paying over time
We offer 0% interest payment plans over 12 months through Cherry. Anyone can apply. The amount you're approved for depends on your credit, and may cover all or part of the fee, so it's worth applying even if you expect to pay some up front.
Still have questions?
Cost is one of the two questions almost everybody arrives with, and there's no awkwardness in asking it first. Call us on (617) 716-7000 and ask before you book anything.
