Cost-saving tips: 1) Get a "good faith estimate" in writing before any procedure. 2) Ask about cash-pay discounts (often 30–50% off). 3) Compare hospital and ambulatory surgery center prices — ASCs average 50% less for same procedures. 4) Call your insurer to confirm in-network status before scheduling.
