Our business office team will submit the claim to your insurance company for the facility charges. Most surgical procedures performed in our facilities are covered in whole or in part by medical insurance.

The surgery center’s fees are based on the procedure your physician scheduled. As with any medical procedure, if unforeseen circumstances should arise during the procedure, it may be necessary for the physician to perform additional or different procedures and/or to use more/less expensive supplies or implants. The use of implants and/or the difference in procedures may cause the estimate to vary significantly.
