MAKING ARRANGEMENTS   • Please bring your insurance card when you come to the center.   • An attempt will be made to contact you prior to surgery if insurance co-pays apply.   • In most cases, we will be able to give you an estimate on the cost of your surgery beforehand.   • Our staff will help you finalize your financial arrangements before your surgery.   • Whatever payment method is chosen, we require that all arrangements are made before surgery, and that co-pays be paid at time of surgery.   CHARGES FOR AMBULATORY SURGERY   • Billing for the facility and physicians is separate.   • We charge for the use of the center, including the costs of the operating room, recovery room, certain laboratory test, and supplies for surgery and anesthesia.   • Your surgeon and anesthesiologist, and if applicable, your radiologist and pathologist, will bill you separately for their services.   • Certain surgical procedures, such as plastic and dental surgery, may not be fully covered by insurance.   METHODS OF PAYMENT ACCEPTED   • Payment of the balance may be required before you have your operation.   • We accept most insurance plans.   • We also accept as payment cash, check or major credit card.   • If you have questions about which plans we accept, please call us.
