The cash-pay range on this page is $75-$3,489.81. Before you book, use these steps to find out which setting a quote comes from and what it includes.
Step by step
- Ask whether the quoted price is per eye or for both eyes.
- Ask what the price includes: the pre-surgery evaluation, follow-up visits, and any enhancement procedure if a touch-up is needed later.
- Ask which surgeon will perform the procedure and handle your follow-up care.
- Ask for a Good Faith Estimate. Vision providers are generally required to give one to self-pay patients who schedule at least 3 business days ahead, or who ask. Source: CMS, medical bill rights
