About SCO
The Surgery Center of Oklahoma is a 32,535 square foot, state-of-the-art multispecialty facility in Oklahoma City, owned and operated by approximately 40 of the top surgeons and anesthesiologists in central Oklahoma.
The facility has been accredited by the AAAHC since 1998 without interruption and has annually provided care to thousands of patients.
If you have a high deductible or are part of a self-insured plan at a large company, you owe it to yourself or your business to take a look at our facility and pricing which is listed on this site. If you are considering a trip to a foreign country to have your surgery, you should look here first. Finally, if you have no insurance at all, this facility will provide quality and pricing that we believe are unmatched. Providing High Quality Care at Affordable Prices
It is no secret to anyone that the pricing of surgical services is at the top of the list of problems in our dysfunctional healthcare system. Bureaucracy at the insurance and hospital levels, cost shifting and the absence of free market principles are among the culprits for what has caused surgical care in the United States to be cost prohibitive. As more and more patients find themselves paying more and more out of pocket, it is clear that something must change. We believe that a very different approach is necessary, one involving transparent and direct pricing.
Transparent, direct, package pricing means the patient knows exactly what the cost of the service will be upfront.

I’ve checked them out before, they seem like the way to go. There is a similar center in St. George, Utah where I went for a hernia operation. $3k, in and out in the morning. This is the way to go if you are paying your own medical, mucho cheaper.
Discount for bringing your own tools?
I have known about them for a long time and if able I will fly there for any treatment unless my local Doctor matches it. I have one of those $10,000 deductible plans, but they pay 100% after that
These guys seem like real heretics.
Discount for bringing your own tools?
LOL!
Anesthesiologists, not required.
I have a hammer; if it should fail,
Also own a heavy cast iron skillet.
No need for post-surgery pain meds either. Jim Beam, Hiram Walker, et al. will do just fine. :-)

The more serious side.
DH needed elective surgery earlier this year. We found there would be no actual Big Hospital involved. The Dallas area (Frisco/Plano) has the same type facility as Okla. City
Cost of procedure was divulged before admission. The only costs which might have been unknown at the time were those of the anesthesiologists, paid upon receipt of their bill.
The nurses were friendly, knowledgeable and competent. The doctors, while competent, retained their usual bedside manner.
Anesthesiologists get paid to wake you up - not to put you to sleep.
“Anesthesiologists get paid to wake you up - not to put you to sleep.”
And there is a built-in incentive for them to make sure you wake up.
This is really good stuff because it gives uninsured people more options than just going overseas...which obviously has its own risks!
