Financial Arrangements
Fees
A single predetermined fee is charged for each type of procedure; thus providing a reasonably accurate estimate of your cost in advance. The fee includes medications, standard supplies and use of the operating and recovery rooms.
Billing
You will be billed separately for your surgeon services, as well as for the services of the anesthesiologist and, if applicable, pathologist, radiologist and surgical assistant. Laboratory tests ordered for you outside the Surgical Center will also be handled sepa srately.
Most short stay surgical procedures are covered by standard medical insurance. HealthONE Ambulatory Surgical Centers accepts most major insurance plans, HMO/PPO plans, Medicare and Workers Compensation. The Surgical Center will bill your insurance company as a courtesy; however, any balance due is your responsibility. Patients may be asked for partial payment on admission to the Center, subject to amount of insurance coverage. However, full payment is required at the time of admittance for no-covered procedures and for patients who do not have medical insurance. Visa and MasterCard are accepted.
HealthONE Ambulatory Surgical Centers recognize our obligation to remain flexible in financial matters. In the event any of the above conditions cannot be met, the center will attempt to make other financial arrangements. Those arrangements must be made prior to admission and must be approved by the Administrator.
