Once you have scheduled your plastic surgery procedure, we require a deposit to hold your desired surgical time. This deposit is later applied to your surgical fee and is fully refundable until 3 weeks prior to surgery.
Payment in full for your surgery is due 3 weeks prior to your procedure. This payment includes the surgical fee, the anesthesia fee, any surgical assistant fees or private duty nursing fees, and any additional supplies which you may need. These fees will be fully detailed for you so that you have a full understanding of each of the elements. It should be noted, though, that certain additional fees such as pathology fees, medical exams, laboratory tests, and anesthesia overages may be incurred after the fact. We strive, however, to give you the most accurate estimate possible to better assist you with financial planning.
Because Dr. Chang performs the vast majority of her procedures in a fully accredited San Francisco hospital, the operating room and overnight stay charges must be paid directly to the hospital. Your patient coordinator will give you an accurate estimate of these charges prior to surgery.
We accept payment in cash, check, Visa, or Mastercard.
For patients who desire some financial assistance, several financing plans that specialize in cosmetic surgery can be offered to you, and Dr. Chang’s patient coordinator will assist you in meeting your financial needs.
For those few procedures that may be covered by insurance, Dr. Chang accepts some major health plans. Please contact your insurance plan for more specific information. Should your procedure be a coverable benefit in your plan, our office will assist you in obtaining pre-surgical authorization.
