Patient Responsibility

Any fees collected at the time of service and any quotes regarding such fees are estimated based on the information available to us at the time of service. We rely on information provided by the responsible party regarding insurance coverage, information from the responsible party's insurance company, and procedure fees associated with the CPT codes scheduled/reserved and provided to us by your surgeon. This estimate does not include the fees for the physician or anesthesiologist. There may be additional charges should your surgeon perform a procedure that is different from, or in addition to what was scheduled for implants or other services which were not scheduled or quoted prior to surgery.

It is the patient's responsibility to understand their individual insurance benefits.

Payment Arrangements

Payment arrangements are available. Please ask about this option. Any payment arrangements must be made prior to services being provided.

Billing Practices

Premier Eye Surgery Center will bill the responsible party's insurance company for facility charges. Premier Eye Surgery Center will also collect any co-payments, coinsurance, and/or deductibles at the time of service. The responsible party will be billed for any remaining charges not covered by insurance, including co-payments, co-insurance and/or deductibles. Additionally, the responsible party will be billed for facility charges in full should the insurance company deny coverage due to lack of referral, no preauthorization, lack of proper reporting of incident/accident or lack of individual coverage, where applicable.
