Do most providers offer nurse discounts?

Question

I recently got a nurse discount by a surgeon in Plano, TX for a breast augmentation and lipo 360. Is that a thing? Do most providers do that?

When does it end?  Does the plumber give discounts when they come to the house in the middle of the night for an emergency?  Is there a discount on milk or gasoline?  It is not a thing

Great question!  Some providers do offer various discounts; a good plan is to sign up for their practice email/newsletter where a number of the discounts are advertised!
Good Luck!

Thank you for your question and congratulations on your recent procedure! While it's not uncommon for practices to offer a professional discount, it is up to the providers discretion. Have a great weekend!

Thank you for your question.  Although I am not sure what most practices offer for discounts, I do consider my colleagues for treatment discounts.  Best of luck.

Dear Dallasnurse:  It varies practice to practice but yes, I do offer a medical field discount and I think most of my local colleagues do as well. Best of luck to you!G. Robert Meger MD

Thank you for your question - it is a great one.  It is not common procedure to offer blanket discounts to all members of the health field.  It is very dependent on the practice as well as the geographic area in which you live.  In the past, professional courtesy discounts were quite common but have decreased or gone away as the business side of many competitive areas have required practices to be very price conscious regarding discounts.  Hopefully you got a nice result as well as a nice price!

Hi Dallasnurse101 , Not all plastic surgeons offer discounts. Discounts may be provided depending on your surgeon's practice in the clinic. Best to inquire about this at your preferred plastic surgeon's office. Daniel Barrett, MD, MHA, MS

Professional discounts vary by surgeon.  Check with your surgeon to see if any are available.

Herluf G. Lund, Jr, MD · Answer

In my practice, I do offer discounts for nurses, military, and first responders.  They take care of us, I take care of them.  I know of a number of other plastic surgeons who also offer discounts. Of course, every practice varies and not everyone does follow this practice.Thank you for being part of the medical team!

Renee Burke, MD · Answer

Every practice varies on their discounts offered to patients. In our office we do extend a discount to other healthcare providers.
