How much does hand surgery cost?

Hand surgery is typically considered a reconstructive procedure and may be covered by health insurance. Pre-certification is generally required for reimbursement or coverage. Be sure to consult with your insurance company in advance of any surgery.

Hand surgery costs may include:

• Surgeon's fee
• Hospital or surgical facility costs
• Anesthesia fees
• Prescriptions for medication
• Post-surgery garments
• Medical tests

When choosing a plastic surgeon for hand surgery, remember that the surgeon's experience and your comfort with him or her are just as important as the final cost of the surgery.
