FAQ

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 (hotel and ground transportation) are also separate — but for out-of-town patients we'll help you find a good rate at a nearby hotel and coordinate transfers between the hotel and 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 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.
