Before you book: three questions that change the price

1. Is this the self-pay price, and does it include the doctor, anesthesia and any lab or pathology? Those are often billed separately.
2. Can you give me the price in writing, with the billing codes it covers?
3. What happens to the price if something extra is needed during the procedure?
