Surgery Payment Question

[TommyV8]

Hi everyone.
So, I go for my consultation next Thursday, and I've got a question about payment.
I've read over and over that the surgery is generally in the 5k range. I have about 3.5k right now saved up for this surgery, and I make 955 dollars a month. So by December I'll definitely have enough to pay for the surgery in it's entirety. But if I book the surgery before I have all the money, is it possible, in America, to arrange a monthly payment plan?
Sorry for my ignorance, I just don't know.

If you do not have all your payment ready, but are lacking only a bit, then most surgeons have payment plans which can be arranged through outside companies.  Basically, it is a loan which you arrange to pay off privately. 

I do not know of any doctors who will finance you directly themselves.
