How to save thousands.

The path most cash-pay patients take. Skip steps at your own risk.

  1. 01
    Get imaging first

    Most ortho visits start with an X-ray or MRI. Pay cash for imaging ($85-$900), bring the CD. Saves 40-60% vs. ordered-by-surgeon imaging.

  2. 02
    Specialist consult

    Cash consults run $185-$475. Many Austin specialists see self-pay patients same-week. Bring your imaging.

  3. 03
    Try conservative first

    PT + injections resolve ~60% of cases. Unit rates are $75-$145 cash. ASCs bundle 6-12 sessions.

  4. 04
    If surgery: get 3 quotes

    Bundled cash quotes vary 2-3× between facilities. Ambulatory surgery centers (ASCs) beat hospital pricing on 95% of outpatient ortho.

  5. 05
    Book 4-6 weeks out

    Cash-pay often gets earlier scheduling than insurance (no prior-auth). Deposit typically 20-50% at booking.
