Will I Start Paying for my Breast Reduction Before or After Surgery?

If your insurance has pre authorized your surgery but you have a high deductible, either the surgeon, the operating room, or both may want some form of pre-payment.  It will depend on the surgeon and operating room policy. Personally, I wouldn't bring up the issue unless they do first.  It'll just be our secret.

If you have a $5000 deductible, that means you will have to pay $5000 before your insurance company pays a dime. In situations like this we require payment in advance, and refund any amount insurance pays.

For patients that do not have insurance most offices require payment in full prior to surgery unless other arrangements have been made. If you have insurance, the insurance company will not cover any expenses until your deductible has been met, so again most offices will require that amount to be paid prior to surgery or the day of. Be sure you have pre-authorization from your insurance company before surgery. Your plastic surgeons office should be able to help you with this. Good luck.
