Cost and insurance
Transoral surgery is a different way to perform the same thyroid or parathyroid operation. Insurance plans that cover thyroid and parathyroid surgery generally treat it the same way, but coverage varies.
What to do
Ask your insurer whether your plan covers thyroid or parathyroid surgery at the hospital where you will be treated, and whether you need a referral. Your surgeon's office can help confirm benefits before surgery.
Traveling for surgery
Many patients travel for transoral surgery. Often the first visit can be a phone or video review of your records, so you only need one trip for testing and surgery.
