We advise patients to contact their insurance company prior to appointments for information regarding coverage of surgical treatment. Call the Member Services number located on your insurance card.

• Verify that you have active insurance coverage.
• Obtain co-pay, co-insurance, and deductible amounts.
• Verify the diagnosis meets medical necessity for procedure and that procedure is covered by the insurance company.

Ask the insurance representative the following:

1. Are there any waiting periods for pre-existing conditions or exclusions on your policy for treatment?
2. What the benefits are for procedures performed in a surgery center.
3. Does the policy cover prescriptions? All patients will likely require prescription medications.

We participate with most of the major health plans in the area which can include HMO, PPO and government products like Medicare and Medicaid.

An estimate of patient payment responsibility will be provided to you following the scheduling of your procedure. Please be prepared to pay your portion of your deductible/co-insurance on or before the date of service. Co-insurance and deductibles are a contractual agreement between you and your insurance carrier. We cannot change or negotiate these amounts. For your convenience we accept cash, checks or the following credit cards: Visa, Master Card, Discover and American Express.
