The reference
Laparoscopic cholecystectomy without associated complications, with one night in hospital. It includes surgical fees, operating room, anesthesia, and one follow-up visit. The reference figure is given at the consultation, and the quote is delivered in writing, with its validity period.
It is a concrete scenario so you know what is being compared: the same surgery, in the same hospital, with the same items included.
What is not included
Costs not included in the quote are listed separately. For example, studies before surgery, medicines after discharge or an extra night in hospital are listed separately. I break it down in the document, case by case, so there are no surprises.
What can change it
- Conversion to open surgery.
- Additional hospital stay.
- Findings during the procedure, such as stones in the bile duct.
- The scope of your policy coverage.
Any of these variables is explained beforehand, and if something changes during the process it is communicated before going ahead.
With private health insurance
With insurance, the quote is adjusted to what your policy covers and to what you pay, such as the deductible and coinsurance. That is reviewed with the insurer before scheduling; the office handles the paperwork. I work with thirteen insurers; the list is on insurers.
If you pay privately
You receive the same document: scenario, what it includes, what is left out and what can change it, with its validity period. Payment terms are explained in consultation.
Why there is no single price online
Because publishing it as if it were final would give a certainty that practice does not support. I prefer to show the scenario, say what moves it, and give the figure once I have seen your case.
How I give it to you
It is delivered in writing at the consultation, with its validity period. Any later change is communicated before going ahead.
