How can I obtain a cost estimate for my procedure?

To receive an estimate from RASC is quite easy. We will assist every step of the way and help you get an estimate so that you will be prepared for what invoices will come your way. Follow these 3 steps:

1

Contact your doctor’s office and have the staff compile a list of the CPT (current procedural terminology) codes that will be included in your surgery.

2

Contact RASC and provide the following information: Your surgeon’s name, complete list of CPT codes and your insurance information.

3

Shortly after receiving the above, RASC will then provide you with an estimate of the out-of-pocket costs that you’re likely to be responsible for. It is easy and eliminates unwanted surprises.

That’s it! If you have any questions, please contact us.
