Self-pay planning
Understand the decision, the price conversation, and what may be separate.
Self-pay patients should understand what the visit includes, which services may be separate, and whether imaging, injections, surgery, facility fees, anesthesia, therapy, braces, or labs need additional pricing or coordination.

How to prepare
Make the next call easier.
01
Define the goal
A consultation, injection discussion, arthroscopy question, second opinion, or surgery plan can each have different cost considerations.
02
Ask what is included
Office visits, imaging, injections, braces, procedures, anesthesia, facility fees, and therapy may not be bundled together.
03
Confirm before scheduling treatment
Do not assume the same self-pay amount applies to every treatment. Confirm the scope and next steps with the office.
Before you call
A little preparation prevents a lot of back-and-forth.
Use this checklist before calling or scheduling so the office can route you toward the right visit, records request, or next step.
Can self-pay patients schedule a consultation?
Yes. The office can help clarify visit logistics and what information is needed before the appointment.
Are surgery and facility costs separate?
They can be. Ask what is included and what may be billed by a facility, anesthesia group, imaging center, pharmacy, or therapy office.
Can I discuss BMAC or PRP as self-pay?
Yes. Orthobiologic options are often self-pay or limited coverage, so candidacy, pricing, and expectations should be reviewed before treatment.
