  • Payment Policy

  • For all cosmetic patients during your visit, you will be given a fee estimate for your proposed aesthetic procedure(s This quote will include fees for the Operating Room and fees for the Anesthesiologist, as well as any special equipment fees or Assistant fees. Please note that Dr. John J. O'Brien's portion of the quote is good for 60 days only. If you choose to schedule the procedure more than 60 days in the future, it is possible that the fee will be different than the original quote. Payment for surgery may be made by cash, major credit card, or cashier's check. We also offer patient financing through CareCredit and ALPHAEON Payment of non-surgical treatments such as BOTOX® Cosmetic and fillers are made at the time of service by cash or debit/credit card. At times, a revision or "touch up" procedure may be desired. Should that be the situation, you the patient will be responsible for additional fees including, but not limited to, Operating Room or Anesthesia. Payment is due in full upon reserving the date of your revision procedure.

    In regard to procedures that may or may not be covered by medical insurance, there may be situations in which part of your surgery would be considered functional or medically necessary. In that case, your insurance may pay part of the surgery fee. As a courtesy to you, our office will pursue prior authorization for this procedure. You will be responsible for the Surgeon's fee, deductible and/or co- payments prior to the procedure. If the surgery center is a Preferred Provider, you will be responsible for your deductible and co- payments for the operating room & anesthesia, as well as payments for the cosmetic portion of your procedure. Purely cosmetic services will not be billed to any third-party insurer.

    Dr. O'Brien is not responsible for refunding any surgical fees or rescheduling fees that result from a patient's non-compliance. The failure to follow pre-surgical instructions includes nicotine, alcohol, or drug use, failure to avoid or to take specific medications as instructed, and failure to follow day of surgery instructions. Any surgical procedure rescheduled by the patient less than fourteen days prior to surgery or as the result of patient non-compliance, will forfeit their surgical deposit and incur a surgeon's rescheduling fee. All fees must be paid prior to confirming any new surgical date.

    Our office requires a non-refundable scheduling deposit equivalent to 10% of the total surgery cost to guarantee your surgery date & time. The remaining balance for surgical fees is to be paid in full at your Pre-Operative appointment. Cancellation up to 14 days prior to your procedure date will result in a 25% loss of all fees. Cancellation within one week (7 days) of your procedure will result in a 50% loss of all fees. If you cancel 48-hours or less from your procedure date, you will forfeit 100% of all fees. These penalties do not apply to illness related cancellations where a Doctor's note is provided.

    If a check is returned from the bank, the patient will be responsible for the amount of the check plus a $30.00 processing fee. Services that are paid with a credit card, debit card or financing are not eligible for credit card challenge. In signing this agreement, the responsible party and/or patient will not challenge credit card payments once the service is provided. We encourage you to contact our office staff for any questions that you may have, so that this policy may be clarified for you prior to scheduling any procedures. We have found that most patients are pleased to have all details known prior to scheduling.

  • Patient Partnership Plan

  • Welcome to St. Petersburg Center for Plastic Surgery. We hope to provide you with the care and service that you expect and deserve. Achieving your best possible health requires a "partnership" between you and your doctor. As our "partner in health", we ask you to participate in your care in the following ways:

    I Will Keep Follow-up Appointments and Reschedule Missed Appointments

    I understand that my doctor will want to know how my condition progresses after I leave the office. Returning to my doctor on time gives him the chance to check my condition and my response to treatment. During a follow-up appointment, my doctor might order tests, refer me to a specialist, prescribe medication, or even discover and treat a serious health condition. If I miss an appointment and don't reschedule, I run the risk that my physician will not be able to detect and treat a serious health condition. I will make every effort to reschedule missed appointments as soon as possible.

    I Will Call the Office When I Do Not Hear the Results of Labs and Other Tests

    I understand that my physician's goal is to report my lab and test results to me as soon as possible. However, if I do not hear from my physician's office within the time specified, I will call the office for my test results.

    I Will Inform My Doctor if I Decide Not to Follow His Recommended Treatment Plan

    I understand that after examining me, my doctor may make certain recommendations based on what he feels is best for my health. This might include prescribing medication, referring me to a specialist, ordering labs and tests, or even asking me to return to the office within a certain period of time. I understand that not following my treatment plan can have serious negative effects on my health. I will let my doctor know whenever I decide not to follow his recommendations so that he may fully inform me of any risks associated with my decision to delay or refuse treatment.

    Thank you for your partnership. As our patient, you have the right to be informed about your health care. We invite you, at any time, to ask questions, seek an explanation, report symptoms, or discuss concerns. If you need more information about your health or condition, please ask.
