The Future of Accessible Surgery
What is direct pay surgery? Surgery that gets rid of the middleman.
Personalized medicine is a new framework that is gaining momentum this year, and we can expect to see its popularity increase throughout the start of 2025 for patients. There is a reason why patients are leaning into medical services that directly cater to their service needs and the financial expectations for patients. Here’s what you need to know:
Direct Surgical Care is the future of accessible surgery because it allows patients to receive surgery directly from their provider, like us, here at Smith Medical DSC. Instead of paying through insurance, patients pay a singular all-inclusive price point that they learn about from the very start, and it covers preoperative, day-of-operation, post-operative, and any appointments or testing needed.
This allows patients to cut out the bureaucracy from their medical experience and better align with their lifestyle and health goals by putting patient healthcare needs first.
How Does Direct Pay Surgery Work?
High costs, lack of surgical access, high-deductible insurance, or patients who don’t have health insurance at all, are all reasons behind our WHY, here at Smith. Everyone has a different insurance model and their healthcare needs are unique- and we want to provide the largest range of access for all patients regardless of their health insurance status.
Rather than worrying about a referral, complicated insurance billing, or trying to find out the price point of surgery, our doctors at Smith treat patients directly without waiting on approvals, prior authorizations, insurance delays, or long wait times to be scheduled.
Here’s How it Works at Smith:
We are a premier surgical center that offers cost accessibility with lower premiums and focalized care. We prioritize affordable surgical services to ensure your health comes first using our transparent pricing model and direct patient-to-doctor communication. We focus on fair, transparent, and easy-to-understand costs.
Our goal is to bypass the traditional hang-ups that come with surgical procedures such as insurance approvals, cost barriers, hidden fees, and lack of quality patient care. Smith Medical is proud to introduce patient-driven healthcare led by our board-certified physicians and informed patient insights.
Some patients have reported that there aren’t enough providers in certain areas of medicine. Since their schedules are filled up, it can be difficult to get an appointment.
At Smith Medical you won’t have to worry about being wait-listed to be seen by our doctors because we are exclusive to surgical procedures and do not have patients who are looking for more conservative treatments or are going to regular check-ups.
Instead of facility is exclusive to direct pay surgery that way we provide specific medical expertise, have lower rates of infection due to less foot traffic and exposure, and care for our patients within a timely manner.
Located in Littleton, Colorado within Denver, Smith Medical DSC has a facility that treats the Denver area.
