Dayton Specialists for Hand and Finger Surgery
In-House Procedures Save Patients Lots of Money Over Hospital Surgeries
Hand and finger surgery can often be done safely, effectively, and much more economically, in the Christman Plastic Surgery Center operating room as contrasted with hospitals – thus saving patients many thousands of dollars, as well as saving time. This can be done under local anesthesia while the patient is awake, thus also saving anesthesiology expenses.
Such savings make it worthwhile for patients to travel 500 to 1,000 miles to Dayton, Ohio, where such procedures can save them a lot of money, even after considering travel expenses, lodging and more.
Some examples of the savings can be seen as follows, where pricing is listed including surgery fee, anesthesia, and facility fee, but does not include a pre-operative consultation:
Carpal Tunnel Release $1,750
Trigger Finger Release $1,750
Dupuytren Contracture Release (one finger) $2,050
Ganglion Cyst Excision
of Hand or Finger $2,050
* $150 Office Consultation Required
These charges include surgeon fee, facility fee and anesthesia fee – representing a tremendous saving over having such procedures performed in the hospital, which will typically charge $20,000 to $40,000 for the facility fee alone!
The procedures performed in Dr. Christman’s office operating room can save huge amounts for patients who have high deductible plans, HSA’s, high co-pays or are otherwise not insured. Other hand surgeries, such as tendon repairs, both acute and chronic, tumor or lesion removal can also represent huge savings. Many other surgeries in other parts of the body, such as skin cancers, lipomas, benign tumors and more can also be done cost-effectively in our office operating room.
