Estimated Fees and Insurance Information
Our staff will verify insurance coverage for both the facility and anesthesia fees prior to surgery. If your insurance policy does not provide 100% coverage of the planned procedure, please be prepared to make a deposit on the day of surgery for the co-insurance and/or deductible portion of the facility fee, and for the anesthesiologist’s fee if you are having anesthesia.
100% payment is also required for any services that are not covered by any insurance policy. All quotes for procedures are estimates, and prior to your surgery date you will receive either a phone call or letter advising you of requested deposits. You may also call us to receive a quote of the estimated charges for your surgery. Please understand that actual billed charges are based on the doctor’s operative report and actual surgery times.
Your Bill
After your surgery, Naperville Surgical Centre will prepare a bill for your surgery and anesthesia services performed at the surgery center. Naperville Surgical Centre also performs billing for the anesthesiologist. We will bill the patient directly for pre-op testing requested by the surgeon that exceeds the surgery center’s preoperative requirements.
The surgery center’s facility fee includes charges for surgery (pre-op, intra-op and post-op nursing care, supplies and intra-operative medications, implants, equipment, use of the operating and recovery rooms), pre-op testing performed at the surgery center, and intra-operative radiology.
The Center bills to all insurance companies, and to Medicare for procedures covered by Medicare in an ambulatory surgery center. Naperville Surgical Centre does not participate in the Medicaid Public Aid Program.
We do not bill insurance for cosmetic procedures unless prior approval of the planned surgical procedure has been received from the insurance company.
