From patients who are looking for athlete surgery due to an injury with sports, or for patients who have struggled with chronic pain, cash-pay surgical care for patients is a great option for those who want clear pricing.
Surgery for cash-pay patients has garnered significant attention in recent years as an alternative option for individuals who do not have insurance coverage or who prefer to pay for their medical expenses out-of-pocket. At Smith Medical DSC, this healthcare delivery model allows patients to receive surgical procedures without the burden of dealing with insurance companies, pre-approvals, and copayments. Smith Medical is located in Littleton, Colorado, in Denver, and is available for patients interested in learning about clear pricing and understanding the process of their surgery directly.
Advantages of Cash-pay Surgery

This can lead to a more personalized and efficient experience, as patients can bypass the lengthy approval processes and administrative hurdles associated with insurance coverage.
Additionally, the cash-pay model can lead to cost savings for patients who can negotiate prices directly with healthcare providers. In some cases, patients may find that the cost of surgery through a cash-pay model is actually lower than if they were to use their insurance coverage. This can be especially beneficial for individuals with high deductibles, or who provide health insurance for themselves.
Clear Pricing and Low Cost
Whether you are a patient on the hunt for a simple eye surgery, or a hip procedure our goal at Smith Medical is to provide clear pricing at a lower cost.
Direct specialty care surgery offers significant financial advantages for patients seeking surgical interventions due to our cash-pay pricing model. Unlike traditional healthcare models, where patients may encounter opaque and unpredictable costs, direct specialty care surgery provides clear and transparent pricing upfront.
This is achieved by eliminating the involvement of intermediaries, such as insurance companies and hospital systems, which often add layers of markup and hidden fees. By working directly with specialized surgeons those at Smith Medical Direct Specialty Care have created a space for patients to have access to all-inclusive pricing. This pricing covers the entire surgical process, including surgeon fees, facility costs, anesthesia, and follow-up care.
This upfront pricing empowers patients to make informed decisions about their surgical needs without the burden of surprise expenses or hidden charges. Additionally, direct specialty care surgery often results in lower overall costs due to reduced overhead expenses associated with intermediary involvement.
The streamlining of the surgical process, coupled with the absence of excessive administrative costs, enables surgeons to offer competitive pricing that can be significantly lower than traditional hospital-based surgery. This cost transparency and affordability allow patients to access high-quality surgical care without the financial constraints that may have previously hindered their ability to seek the necessary treatment.
