Your doctor will send you a separate bill for the surgical procedure. You may also receive bills for anesthesia treatment provided by the anesthesiologist, biopsy or lesion removal from the pathology lab, or tests performed by the lab.
Separate Providers
You may also receive services from other health care providers while you are a patient in the surgery center. These providers may bill you separately, and they may or may not participate with the same health insurers or health maintenance organizations (HMOs) as this facility. Patients and prospective patients should contact each health care provider from whom they will receive care to determine the health insurers and HMOs with which they are a network or preferred provider.
One health care provider who will bill you separately for services is the physician performing your procedure. In addition, if you receive services in this facility from other providers (such as anesthesia, pathology or laboratory for analyzing tissues your physician orders to diagnose your condition), you will also receive their separate billing.
