- After you choose a surgeon, your Care Advocate will help set up appointments and guide you through every step of the experience.
- You make one payment* for all services from admission to discharge, including your surgeon, the facility, anesthesia, and more. No multiple bills or confusing billing.
* Surgical costs are payable prior to surgery.
