Surgery costs don't have to break the bank

Major procedures come with major price tags. Paytient helps members afford surgery, without overextending their budget.

Updated over 3 weeks ago

Surgery is often the moment when benefits are supposed to “kick in.”

However, for millions of insured Americans, that moment still comes with a hefty out-of-pocket bill. Whether it’s a planned knee replacement or an emergency appendectomy, the sticker shock can cause people to delay, or even avoid, life-changing care.

The real cost of care.

  • 67% of people who file for bankruptcy say medical bills are the reason.*

  • 41% of Americans can’t afford an unexpected $1,000 expense.^

  • Nearly 80% would have deferred some or all care if they didn't have Paytient.**

Pay over time with Paytient.

Paytient members can pay for surgery-related expenses — like hospital fees, anesthesia, follow-ups, and prescriptions^^ — over time, without interest or fees.

Sign up for the Paytient card today and pay for your next procedure with a personalized payment plan.***
