Payment, Billing & Assistance Policies

BILLING AND COLLECTION POLICY
If you provided us with insurance information, your insurance company will be billed as a service to you. Insurance is designed to reimburse the policyholder and is a contract between the policyholder and the insurance company. We will submit benefit claims to your insurance company if all required information and authorization is provided. You are responsible for deductibles, co-insurance, and any items not paid by insurance. You should contact your insurance company to determine your cost-sharing responsibilities, if any.

A claim will be submitted to your insurance based on information you provided during the registration process. This could be as soon as 1 day after your discharge or release from our Surgery Center. You may request a copy of your bill by contacting 407-206-2375. Generally, we allow 30 days for insurance to pay their portion. In the event that your insurance company is slow to pay or for some reason disallows the claim, payment of the full account balance is expected from you. You can avoid future billing notices by calling your insurance company to expedite payment. Our collection process will include additional billing notices every 28 days, until the account balance is resolved or placed with a collection agency.

It is important for the Surgery Center and the patient to work together to solve payment issues. If you have any questions please feel free to call our Business Office at the phone number listed above.
