Financing

If your surgery is reconstructive or deemed medically necessary, it may be covered by insurance. When surgery is recommended by Dr. Marc Wetherington, a letter of prior authorization will be sent to your insurance company and approval must be obtained before surgery can be scheduled. A copy of your insurance card will be made at your initial office visit, and it is important to keep the office informed of any changes to your insurance.

A patient considering cosmetic surgery will meet with a staff member during her or his initial consultation and discuss both the cost of surgery and scheduling. Cosmetic consultations are complimentary.

Any co-payments are due at the time of your initial office visit, and all surgical fees and deductibles are collected at your preoperative visit, which is usually one week prior to your surgery. Care Credit patient financing is available, and information about this service is available in our offices. We also accept cash, personal checks, Visa, MasterCard, and American Express.

We want you to have the decision of when to have a cosmetic procedure, not how you are going to pay for it. For that reason, we offer two of the nation’s leading patient payment program, CareCredit and PatientFi. These programs let you plan or begin your procedure immediately and then pay for it over time. Monthly payments are low and can easily fit into your budget.

CareCredit offers a comprehensive range of no interest and extended payment plans for procedure fees from $1 to over $25,000. With CareCredit, you pay no up-front costs, no pre-payment penalties, and no fees. Plus, CareCredit is a revolving credit line for additional treatment or add-on charges, without the need to re-apply. It only takes a few minutes to apply for CareCredit, and you may receive an online decision in seconds.

PatientFi analyzes a variety of factors that include credit history, income, and other relevant information. Your application data is compared against several hundred scoring variables within PatientFi’s proprietary algorithm. The great news is, the application is very easy and checking your rate will not have any impact on your credit score.
