Free Consultation
The most frequent question we get from patients relates to pricing, and for good reason!
Dr. Caridi knows that this is an important factor of your treatment and wants to ensure that your price quote is reflective of a thorough and well-designed treatment plan. This is why Dr. Caridi assesses each patient’s wants and needs, body type and procedure complexity before giving any price. We offer an easy way to get a quick, free Online Consultation with Dr. Caridi.
Another common question we get relates to insurance and financing.
Because gynecomastia is a cosmetic concern and not a medical issue, insurance providers do not cover its treatment. Therefore, we are not on any insurance plans and do not accept any insurance. Financing of cosmetic surgery has become quite common over the past several years since most insurance companies do not cover these procedures. We want to make sure that treatment is within your reach and offer financing to help you receive care that suits every aspect of your needs.
The quickest way to get pricing is to submit a free Online Consultation form.
Our patients are loving this new online feature because they can talk to the doctor quickly from the privacy of home. This feature is especially beneficial for out-of-town patients and is also a useful method for local patients to connect with Dr. Caridi efficiently and conveniently.
“This was simply amazing. I submitted an Online Consultation and Dr. Caridi got back to me in no time with his assessment and his staff gave me an idea of pricing. I had visited two other surgeons in person and I had to fight the traffic, wait a long time in the office and waste my entire afternoon. I just can’t get over how easy and convenient this is!” - SN
Financing of cosmetic surgery has become quite common over the past several years since most insurance companies do not cover these elective procedures. Many companies are willing to loan you money if you qualify.
The interest rates are generally better than a credit card and the loans are structured so that affordable payments can be made for up to three to five years. A quick Internet search will provide you with many options to choose from. Austing Gynecomastia Center has relationships with two of the leading lenders for cosmetic surgery procedures – CareCredit and MedLoan Finance – links are below.
Note: we do not accept CareCredit’s no interest promotion. We accept CareCredit’s 24, 36, or 48 month reduced APR and fixed monthly payments financing.
A $500.00 non-refundable scheduling fee is required to reserve a surgery date.
This will be applied to your surgery payment. If you must reschedule, there will be a $500 rescheduling fee. You may cancel up to 14 days before the surgery. You will receive a full refund if you change your mind within this grace period, otherwise this will be enforced. Surgery fees are payable by personal check, PatientFi, Care Credit or Medloan Finance. When paying with one of these methods, payment must be received 2 weeks before surgery. You may also pay with a certified check on the day of surgery. No personal checks or financing options will be accepted on the day of surgery. Debit or Credit cards are accepted for the deposit only. Surgery will not occur without full payment.
Generally speaking, our price includes the cost of the facility, the anesthesiologist’s fee as well as the surgeon’s fee. Garments and prescriptions are the responsibility of the patient. When multiple procedures are performed during one operative session, a discount is usually given compared to the sum of the individual procedures. Pricing can vary considerably when your procedure is performed outside of our private operating facility.
Please be aware that any complication from your procedure that requires hospitalization or additional procedures is your financial responsibility. Patients also need to be aware that your health insurance may or may not cover an expense related to a cosmetic procedure. Please do your research well in advance and ask your insurance company about their policies for coverage of complications that arise from cosmetic procedures. However unlikely this scenario may be, the out-of-pocket cost can be quite expensive.
