Common Questions About Pricing & the Consult
- What's included in the listed price?
- Each listed price covers three line items in one number: the surgeon's professional fee, anesthesiology, and the facility fee. No separate facility bill, no separate anesthesia bill.
- What's NOT included?
- Implants (provided at cost, disclosed before surgery), pre-operative diagnostic imaging like MRI or X-ray, post-operative physical therapy, and any consults with outside specialists. These are billed separately and explained in advance. Travel costs are separate — for out-of-town patients we help find a nearby hotel rate and coordinate transfers to the surgery center.
- How does the $250 consult work?
- The $250 covers a virtual or in-person consultation with one of our shoulder surgeons. We review your imaging, confirm whether you're a surgical candidate, and provide your all-inclusive quote in writing. If surgery isn't indicated, the $250 is all you pay.
- I'm a Canadian patient — what do I need?
- No referral required. Schedule your $250 USD virtual consult, send us your imaging, and we coordinate scheduling and travel logistics. Typical scheduling is 2–4 weeks. Most Canadian patients fly into Cleveland or Pittsburgh.
- What if I'm not a surgical candidate?
- The $250 is all you pay. You'll receive a written summary of the surgeon's assessment and recommendations for next steps, which you can share with your local provider.
- How do I pay?
- For self-pay patients, payment is taken in advance — typically by cashier's check or cash. This is part of how we keep our listed pricing as low as it is.
