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 appointment or discharge/release from our Surgery Center. You may request a copy of your bill by contacting 407-893-8236. 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 us 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.
