Costs and Insurance Coverage<\/b><\/h2>\n

We are happy to see patients with traditional insurance policies or with no insurance, those with high-deductible plans, out-of-pocket cash-paying patients, and international patients.  We offer high-quality, cost-effective care.<\/p>\n

It is our belief that insurance rules should not limit your treatment<\/strong>.  New York Urology Specialists is an in-network provider with Medicare.   New York Urology Specialists and Dr. Alex Shteynshlyuger are not contracted with other insurance networks at this time.  We will gladly see you as an out-of-network provider. Your insurance company may cover some or all costs of the care that you choose to receive from us as an out-of-network benefit. Our fee schedule is simple and straightforward. Sample visit costs are listed below. For more detailed pricing, please contact us.<\/p>\n

2025 Fee Schedule – Our Typical Fees Start as Follow:<\/b><\/h2>\n\n\n\n\n\n
 <\/td>\nRegular Self-Pay Fee start at:<\/b><\/td>\nPrepayment discount<\/span> Fees start at:<\/b><\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
New visit:<\/strong><\/td>\n$385*<\/td>\n$285*<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Return visits:<\/strong><\/td>\n$265*<\/td>\n$85-185*<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

* Costs include physician evaluation for a simple problem (99203<\/strong> visit level); higher fees apply for more complicated visits. Additional fees may apply for other tests, procedures, and surgeries.* add a $10 credit\/debit card processing fee to cover the charges banks charge us if paying with a credit\/debit or prepaid card for new visits and $5 for follow-up visits. * These discounted rates are valid only for self-pay patients who cannot afford standard rates or health insurance premiums.  Higher regular rates apply to patients who do not prepay or those who are covered by insurance. <\/p>\n

For patients without insurance who are paying out-of-pocket for our services at the time of service, prompt payment discounts<\/strong> are available. We also offer unique, all-inclusive \u201cprepaid\u201d office urological care plans for patients.  If you have Medicare<\/strong>, you will typically be responsible for a 20% copay<\/strong> often covered by secondary insurance if you have it.<\/p>\n

Cancellation Policy<\/b><\/h2>\n

We understand that life can be unpredictable.  If you cannot come to your appointment, please notify us at least 72 hours<\/strong> in advance.  Cancellation fees apply for office visits, procedures, and surgeries.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Financial Considerations<\/b><\/h2>\n

Our payment policies are simple and straightforward<\/strong>.  We are always happy to provide you with the most outstanding urology care in NYC, whether you have a commercial insurance policy, a high-deductible plan, or no insurance at all.   We would be happy to see you if we are not in-network with your insurance company. However, be aware that your out-of-pocket costs may be higher depending on your plan.<\/p>\n

Our prices are reasonable<\/strong> and are typically much lower<\/strong> than what you would pay by visiting a similarly experienced and qualified urologist working for a hospital.  If necessary, we will work with you on financing options<\/strong> to help you.  Our goal is singular: to deliver the highest quality urological care in New York City.<\/p>\n

Physician fees are only a small part of your medical expenditures<\/span>.  To help you with medical expenses, whenever possible, we will prescribe generic medications that have the same therapeutic ingredients, cost less, and work as well as the expensive brand medications.  Because we are an independent practice and offer your choices, your total cost of care may be lower<\/strong> even when you go out-of-network compared to getting studies done at a hospital affiliated with hospital-employed physicians.  For example, when you need a CT scan or MRI, you can go to an outpatient center where the cost of a CT scan can be $300-$400 compared to $1,000-$3,000 at a hospital.   Please contact your insurance plan for information about your costs.<\/p>\n

We accept cash payments, major credit cards, including Visa, Mastercard, American Express, PayPal, and checks.<\/b>  Several financing options are available<\/a>.<\/p>\n

If you require a procedure or surgery, you should discuss your condition with your insurance company to determine what the insurance company will cover under your policy. All or part of your physician fee for the surgery may be covered by your insurance company if you have out-of-network benefits in your policy. You may be responsible for the deductible, copay, and\/or other costs.<\/p>\n

We will assist you with any paperwork required by your insurance carrier to file a claim for reimbursement<\/strong> of your expenses. Please be aware that your insurance may require precertification<\/strong> for certain surgeries and procedures. Please note that hospital or surgical center fees<\/strong> are separate from physician fees. Your insurance may be accepted by the hospital or surgery center where the procedure will be scheduled.<\/p>\n

You may use a health savings account (HSA)<\/strong> to pay for the services we offer.<\/p>\n
