Amadi Aesthetics Financial Policy
We are committed to providing you with the highest quality patient care. A clear understanding of our financial policy is important to our professional relationship. Should you have any questions regarding this financial policy, please contact us. Our office staff is readily available to provide more specific information or answer any questions.
Cosmetic surgery procedures
Cosmetic surgery procedures are not covered by insurance. There is a $250 fee for consultations with Dr. Amadi. During your consultation, Dr. Amadi will listen to your concerns, and fully evaluate your facial anatomy and recommend a customized surgical and/or nonsurgical plan for you. Once you have had a consultation with our plastic surgeon, you will meet with our patient care coordinator who will have more detailed information on policies and pricing specific to your personalized plan.
Cosmetic/elective surgery procedures are required to be paid in full prior to your scheduled surgery date, usually at your preoperative appointment. Your consultation fee will be applied to the cost of surgery if you proceed with surgery with Dr. Amadi.
There are three financial components to a cosmetic surgery: the surgeon’s fee, the anesthesia fee, and the facility fee:
* Anesthesia fee – the fee charged by your anesthesia provider for your cosmetic procedure(s).
* Facility fee – the fee for the use of the operating room, equipment, and supplies related to your cosmetic surgery.
* Surgeon fee – the fee charged by the surgeon performing your cosmetic procedure(s). Your consultation fee will be applied to this portion of your cosmetic surgery fees. Post-operative visits are included at no charge for 1 year after surgery at which point consultation fees apply. Post-operative procedures, such as scar injection or lasers, etc, may incur additional costs.
Should you decide to proceed with surgery, we accept cashier’s checks, Visa, MasterCard, American Express, and Discover. Full payment for your surgery or procedure is due at the time of your pre-operative appointment. Forms of payment include cash, cashier's check, Zelle, wire transfer, personal check (minimum of 1 week prior to procedure), debit card, or credit card. Please note that credit card payments are subject to a 3% surcharge for merchant fees. We also offer financing through Care Credit and PatientFi.
Reconstructive surgery procedures
Reconstructive (functional) plastic surgery procedures may be covered by insurance if they qualify as medically necessary. However, we are not accepting Medicare or any other commercial insurance carriers such as Premera, Regence, Aetna, and Cigna. This means that you would be responsible for surgery as an out of pocket cost and it would be your responsibility to apply for reimbursement from your insurance carrier depending on your out-out-network benefits. We can provide you with consultation notes and the necessary diagnosis (ICD-10) and surgery codes (CPT) to help you with your reimbursement efforts but it is your responsibility to apply for reimbursement directly with your insurance carrier .
It is important to understand that having out of network benefits are not guarantees of reimbursement by your insurance company. Your insurance company will still reserve the right to deny payment for services at their sole discretion.
