Even though we may not be contracted with your insurance, the facilities we use usually are contracted. In order to save significantly on the facility costs (which are usually thousands of dollars), we may need to obtain an authorization from your health plan in advance. Each health plan takes a different amount of time to give their OK. When we schedule your surgery ask what the average time is with your plan.
