Wondering about fees and payment details? We’ve made it easy by outlining our consultation, surgery, cancellation, and payment policies below to help you understand all the financial aspects of your care at Baumholtz Plastic Surgery.

Consultation and Appointments

Consultations with Dr. Baumholtz are $200 (in-person or virtual). This fee is non-refundable but may be applied to surgery if booked within 2 weeks of your visit.
Surgery estimates are valid for 30 days.

Cancellations & No-Show Visits

If you need to cancel or reschedule, please notify us at least 48 hours in advance.

No-Show Surgical Consultation – $200
No-Show Other Appointments – $50

Surgery Payments

A 25% non-refundable deposit is required to reserve your surgical date.
Full payment is due 3 weeks prior to surgery, typically at your pre-operative appointment.
We accept cash, credit/debit cards, and bank cashier’s checks.
Financing through 3rd-party providers is available. Your agreement is directly with the finance company.

Surgical Deposit Expiration Policy

If you cancel or postpone your procedure, your surgical deposit remains on your account as credit for surgery for up to 12 months from the date of payment. After that:

If no surgery is scheduled and no communication is received, the deposit is forfeited.
Deposits are non-transferable and cannot be used by another person or for another service.
Extensions may be granted for medical necessity or documented hardship, but must be requested in writing before the 12-month expiration. Supporting documentation required.
Patients are responsible for remaining in contact with our office to retain eligibility for deposit use.
Patients who defer surgery and actively enrolled with our weight loss program will receive an extension for their surgical deposit.

Surgery Rescheduling Fees

Under 14 days: Deposit forfeited + $2500 rescheduling fee
