Understanding Your Billing

As you prepare for your surgery, we want to make sure you understand how you will be billed for the services you receive. At a minimum, you will receive three separate bills. The success of your surgery depends on a team effort by many dedicated professionals, including those in our facility. Because government and insurance rules do not permit us to bill or collect money for each professional entity listed below, each one must send a separate bill and collect payment from you separately. Listed below is an explanation of the bills you may receive.

Surgery Center's Bill: You will get a bill from us for what is known as the facility fee. This fee is for the staff and equipment we provide for your safe and successful experience here.
Surgeon's Bill: Since the physician performing your surgery is not an employee of the Center, you will be billed separately for these services. The physician's bill will be sent from the physician's office. You must address all questions, and send all payments, to that office.
Anesthesiologist's Bill: The anesthesia you receive during your surgery will be provided by an anesthesiologist. The anesthesiologist will give you either local or general anesthesia and will monitor you throughout the surgery. You will get a separate bill for these services. You must address all questions regarding these services and send all payments to that group or physician.

Other Bills:

Depending on several factors related to your particular surgery, you may receive services for which you will get additional bills. These additional bills may include:

Laboratory/Pathology Bill - which may include, for example, fees for blood and urine tests or tissue sampling.
Radiology Bill - which may include, for example, charges for X-rays, angiograms, MRIs, or ultrasounds.
Cardiology Bill - which may include, for example, charges for an electrocardiogram, angiography, or cardiac catheterization
Durable Medical Equipment Bill - which may include, for example, the cost of crutches.

You will receive a separate bill from the provider for each of the applicable services. You must address all questions and send all payments separately to each individual provider.

We realize that these multiple bills can be confusing. Our staff will do their very best to help you with questions and guide you to the proper sources of information. If you have any questions about this information, please contact us at (970) 297-6431, (970) 297-6435 or (970) 297-6454.
