Central Florida SurgiCenter’s standard collection policy is to produce and send two patient statements reflecting the patient’s cost-sharing responsibility. If the statement balance is not paid in a timely manner, a collection notice will be sent. This notice will inform the patient that the unpaid balance will be placed with a collection agency.
Central Florida SurgiCenter accepts most major commercial insurance, HMO/PPO plans, Medicare, Workers Compensation, and other government sponsored health coverage.
We will bill your insurance company as a courtesy; however, any balance due is your responsibility. Payment will be requested from you if reimbursement from your insurance company is not received within 60 days.
