Area of Science:

Healthcare Policy
Medical Economics
Plastic Surgery

Background:

The No Surprises Act (NSA) aims to prevent surprise medical bills for various services.
Physician-provided cost estimates are crucial for NSA compliance.
Healthcare price opacity prompted this study on price transparency in plastic surgery.

Purpose of the Study:

Assess physician and patient attitudes toward price transparency.
Evaluate the impact of the No Surprises Act on plastic surgery practices.
Examine patient experiences with online cost estimator tools.

Main Methods:

Surveyed plastic surgery providers on pricing information practices and NSA views.
Surveyed patients on their experiences with online price estimator tools.
Collected data on provider pricing transparency and patient satisfaction with estimates.

Main Results:

Most providers do not offer online pricing information.
Patients reported positive experiences with pre-consultation cost estimates.
Final service costs often matched or were lower than online estimates.

Conclusions:

Price transparency enhances patient satisfaction.
Plastic surgeons should adopt price transparency for NSA compliance and competitive advantage.
Implementing price transparency offers mutual benefits for patients and providers.
