I was quoted $1,500 for Exparel by the board certified P.S. I'm considering having a TT with at a surgery center. The $1500 is an addt'l cost just for the exparel alone, not for any part of the surgery itself. This seems exorbitant based on other quotes I've gotten and info I've found online. The Dr's office insists they don't mark the price up at all. Could that possibly be true? What do you charge for exparel? Is there a cheaper, generic, long-acting local that I could ask them to use instead?
