Individual physician/surgeon fees vary by region, and within regions, depending upon whether the
practice is in an urban, suburban, or rural area. Figures are for physician/surgeon fees only and do not
include fees for the surgical facility, anesthesia, medical tests, prescriptions, surgical garments, or
other miscellaneous costs related to surgery. Figures for procedures often performed on more than one
site in the same session reflect typical fees for one site.
