How It Works
Simple. Upfront. No surprises.
Our self-pay program is designed to be as easy as possible.
1
Choose your service
Select your visit or procedure from this page. Low-risk patients can book procedures directly — no consultation required first.
2
Pay upfront
Office visits are paid at check-in. Procedures are paid in full before the procedure date. We do not bill your insurance for self-pay services.
3
Get your care
Come in, receive exceptional care, and leave knowing your bill is already settled. An itemized receipt (superbill) is available on request if you want to seek reimbursement from your insurance on your own.
Your right to a Good Faith Estimate
Under the federal No Surprises Act, health care providers must give patients who don’t have insurance, or who are not using insurance, an estimate of the expected charges for medical items and services.
- You have the right to receive a Good Faith Estimate for the total expected cost of any non-emergency items or services.
- Make sure your provider gives you a Good Faith Estimate in writing at least 1 business day before your scheduled service. You can also ask for a Good Faith Estimate before you schedule a service.
- If you receive a bill that is at least $400 more than your Good Faith Estimate, you can dispute the bill.
- Make sure to save a copy or picture of your Good Faith Estimate.
For questions or more information about your right to a Good Faith Estimate, visit www.cms.gov/nosurprises or call 1-800-985-3059.
Self-pay prices are current as of October 2026 and are subject to change. Prices apply to the services described on this page; your exact estimate will be confirmed in writing before your service.
Self-Pay FAQs
Do you bill my insurance if I choose self-pay?
No. Self-pay pricing requires payment upfront, and we do not submit insurance claims for self-pay services.
Can I submit my receipt to my insurance myself?
Yes. We can provide an itemized receipt (superbill) on request. Whether you are reimbursed depends on your specific insurance plan.
Are anesthesia and pathology really included?
Yes. Anesthesia/MAC and pathology for routine biopsies and polyps are included in every endoscopy bundle, with no separate facility fee.
Do I need a consultation before my procedure?
Low-risk patients can book a procedure directly without a consultation. Higher-risk patients need a pre-procedure consult ($150), which can be done in person or virtually.
What if I need something more complex than a routine procedure?
Advanced procedures may involve additional charges. We will discuss them with you and provide pricing in advance whenever possible.
