Financial Information
How are financial arrangements Handled?
Please contact the Center prior to surgery for pre-admission instructions and financial arrangements. You, your surgeon and/or your insurance company may request, in advance, an estimate or pre-authorization for your surgery. Our staff will help you finalize your financial arrangements before your surgery.
The fee for the use of the Center includes a basic medical history, routine equipment and supplies, pre-operative services, routine drugs and anesthetics administered while in the Center, operating room time and recovery room services. The fee DOES NOT include the cost for the professional services of your surgeon, anesthesiologist, radiologist, a pathologist or physician consultants.
Most outpatient surgical procedures are covered by standard medical insurance. Patients may be asked for a partial payment upon admission to the Center, subject to the amount of insurance coverage. Full payment is required at the time of admittance for non-covered procedures and for patients who do not have medical insurance. However, the Center recognizes its obligation to remain flexible in financial matters. We require all payment arrangements be made prior to your surgery
At Gulf Pointe Surgery Center, we are committed to providing our patients and families with the best available healthcare services, along with convenient and reliable billing services.
