Before surgery, the doctor will formulate a clear treatment plan for the patient and inform the corresponding cost.

Reimbursement

In addition, the medical insurance policy also has some restrictions, such as restrictions on the operation time and the hospital. When patients choose surgery, they need to know the specific provisions of the medical insurance policy in advance to make reasonable decisions.

It should be noted that the out of pocket payment may vary depending on the type of surgery and the hospital. When paying at their own expense, patients need to fully communicate with the hospital to understand the final payment amount and sign the corresponding fee agreement to avoid fee disputes.
Summary
The cost of eye surgery at CUHK Guangzhou varies according to the type of surgery, condition and hospital policy. Operation expenses can be partially reimbursed through medical insurance, but the reimbursement proportion and amount need to be determined according to the specific medical insurance policy and operation type. For expenses that are not covered by medical insurance or are reimbursed at a lower level, patients need to pay at their own expense.
