You want to know the most efficient way to get a medical procedure down outside of the normal medical system? With the caveat that going through the normal medical system is, duh, not the most efficient way?

Penny wise, pound foolish.

The only reason I can think of where one might want to bypass the normal system is because you don't want something to show up for insurance reasons. So you don't go through a doctor, you pay cash, you get no interpretation, guidance, or followup. Not to mention, no treatment. It doesn't strike me as very efficient, for most people.
