Why am I receiving more than one bill for the same surgery?
There are a number of separate charges associated with your surgical procedure. You MAY receive charges from several companies.
- Our Surgical Center – facility fee for your surgical procedure.
- Your surgeon’s office – his/her fee for performing your surgery.
- Anesthesiologist – his/her fee for anesthesia services for surgery.
- Radiology – services for x-ray, if required.
- Pathology – services for tissue specimens removed during surgery requiring further examination.
- Laboratory – services for laboratory tests run on specimens removed during surgery.
What type of credit cards do you accept?
We accept all major credit cards such as Visa, Mastercard, Discover and American Express. We are able to accept cashiers or bank checks.
When should I expect my first bill?
We will bill you any balance due after your insurance company has paid your claim. There may be a delay if your insurance company has paid us incorrectly and we have re-submitted your claim for a corrected payment and allowance determination.
Do you charge interest?
No
Are we able to set up a payment plan?
All balances are due in receipt of statement unless prior arrangements are made. If you encounter problems paying your bill, please contact our office immediately and ask for our billing department.
What is your credit and payment policy?
Unless prior arrangements are made in advance, full payment is due at the time of your surgery. Cosmetic surgery procedures must be paid in full prior to your surgery date.
We will submit insurance claims for you. We will request that your deductible and copay amounts are paid on or before your date of surgery. You will receive a notice from us regarding the amount to pay.
