Financial Information

Prior to your surgery or procedure, our business office will call you to verify the information given to us by your surgeon's office and to review your insurance benefits. They will review the estimated amounts with you. Payment of your insurance deductible and co-insurance amount is due at the time of your surgery.

If you are unable to pay the amount in full on the day of surgery please let the office staff know during this phone call. We do have payment options available for you.

Payment Options
Payment arrangements must be made prior to surgery. We do accept Cash, Check, Visa, Discover, MasterCard, American Express, and Care Credit.
