Sorry if this has been asked before,browsing on my phone hasn't been easy and rather frustrating at best.so you may move/lock if need be and maybe point in the right direction.

So I was wondering about cost over all through stages.do most srs doctors include everything in their sum? For example if one charges 60k,this normally covers sugery and all stages? Like if I want a meta and pahallo and +++? Hope my question is making sense.I'm assuming the over all costs addsof everything I request but as we all know,they are in stages and I'm hoping the over all cost covers everything and I don't need to keep paying at each stage.might be a silly question but ill be saving money soon and I want to know all avenues are clear for me.

I think it depends on the doctor. As far as I know, Brassard's costs are all-inclusive, and I think Meltzer charges by the stage but does make it clear up front how much each stage will cost (so that you can add it all up yourself).

Ok thanks.I'm not sure who I'm going with yet but I guess saving the money would be the first thing to worry about.that's a long way off anyway lol I just like being prepared.

Call the surgeons office and ask for their application packet.  They know they do not get all packets back, but it will have current prices and services.  My surgeons price included her fees, my hospital costs and an anesthesiologist's fee, not to mention three night at a non hospital recovery site or a local hotel.

Not too bad.

Yes as the others said the team should give an itemised account and tell you what isn't included, for example if you need extra blood tests etc you may have to pay separatly for them. It is in their interest to let you know an accurate figure.

Thanks,ill do that.I figured to save up one large sum for everything,seems easier that way then paying many times over the course of surgery.but ill make sure to try and make calls too
