FINANCIAL ARRANGEMENTS
We can help you receive the maximum allowable benefits of your insurance plan by discussing your individual financial responsibilities in advance.
Before your surgery date, we will verify your insurance coverage and contact you to let you know the dollar amount of deductibles, co- payments or any additional expenses you may have that are not part of your insurance coverage.
Payments for co-pays, deductibles, or procedures not covered by insurance are due on the day of surgery. Fees for cosmetic procedures will be collected prior to surgery.
Due to the complexity of individual insurance plans, we suggest you personally call your insurance company if you have specific questions regarding your benefits.
If your procedure is covered by insurance, we will file a claim with your insurance company as a courtesy.
We accept cash, checks, money orders, Visa, Mastercard, Discover, and American Express.
You will receive separate bills from the following medical professionals if their services are utilized: your surgeon, anesthesiologist, and pathologist.
Special medical equipment (such as crutches or orthopedic braces) recommended by your physician is not supplied by our center but may be obtained through a local vendor on site the day of surgery. These items are not included in our facility fee and you or your insurance company will be responsible for payment.
It is your right as a patient to request information or have your questions regarding fees or payment policies fully answered. If you have questions regarding your bill, please contact our business office at 256-736-2811. We will be happy to help you between the hours of 8:00 AM and 5:00 PM Monday – Friday.
