Thank you for choosing Avenues Surgery Center for your surgery. We strive to make your experience a pleasant and efficient one.
With that in mind, we like to inform our patients of their financial obligations prior to surgery, so there are no surprises and/or misunderstandings.
The Avenues Surgery Center collects any co-payments, unmet deductibles, and co-insurance amounts on the day of surgery. If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to call our office at 385-355-7278. Please note that co-insurance amounts collected are an estimate; your total financial obligation will be determined by your insurance company and will appear on the explanation of benefits. If our estimated amount is less, we will bill you the difference. If our estimated amount is more, we will refund you the difference.
We encourage you to also contact your surgeon, anesthesia group and your insurance company if you have any questions about your financial obligations. In addition, please make sure your authorization/pre-certification for your surgery is on file prior to the surgery.
You will be receiving a bill from:
Avenues Surgery Center
You will receive an estimate about 1 week prior to your surgery via text or email. This estimate will show your financial responsibility for your surgery based on the information we have from your insurance company. You will have the option to pay online, pay by phone or pay at time of service. We accept checks (made payable to Avenues Surgery Center), Visa, Mastercard, Discover & American Express.
Payment is due in full at the time of service unless prior arrangements are made. Interest-free payment plans are available with a down payment toward the total amount owed. If you have questions regarding your estimate or payment options, please feel free to call us at 385-355-7278.
If you do not have insurance, you will be responsible for the entire facility fee. A 30% discount is available if the amount due on the estimate is paid in full prior to surgery.
We hope this information is helpful in assisting you to plan for your visit to the surgery center. A discussion of financial matters can be an uncomfortable experience. Our goal is to reduce or eliminate any additional stress in this area. Once again, please feel free to call us at 385-355-7278 if you have any questions. We look forward to seeing you soon.
