How much does a pre-op medical clearance usually cost?

Question

I have to have a pre op surgical medical clearance preformed from my primary doctor a week before my breast augmentation. I have a $1500 deductible plan for insurance and haven't used any of it yet. What is the usual range that the bill will cost a person?

Adam Hamawy, MD · Answer

It really depends on how healthy your already are.  If you are young and don't have previous medical issues, then it usually is a copay to your primary care doctor to visit them.   If your primary doctor orders more tests, like and EKG or blood it may go up a few hundred dollars.

Thanks for your question. Your answer can be found by contacting your primary physician and asking them what their standard fee would be for this office visit.Assuming your healthy and younger than age 60, another question worth asking is why you need preop medical clearance for a breast augmentation? Is it just the standard practice for your plastic surgeon or is there something in your particular case that raises concern?Again, worth having all of your questions answered before undergoing surgery of any kind.
