BILLING POLICIES

ESTIMATED FEES AND INSURANCE INFORMATION

Our staff will verify insurance coverage for the facility fees prior to surgery. If your insurance policy does not provide 100% coverage of the planned procedure, please be prepared to make payment on the day of surgery for the co-insurance and/or deductible portion of the facility fee. 100% payment is also required for any services that are not covered by your insurance policy. All quotes for procedures are estimates, and prior to your surgery date you will receive a phone call and/or letter advising you of your responsibility. You may also call us to receive a quote of the estimated charges for your surgery.Please understand that actual billed charges are based on the doctor’s operative report and actual surgery times.
