Center For Sight Surgery Center

COLLECTION PROCEDURES

Prior to your scheduled procedure, we will contact you with the results of the verification of your insurance benefits to advise of your insurance deductible and co-payment amounts that will be due from you prior to your surgery. We expect the amount estimate due to be paid on/or before the day of your surgery.

If you need special consideration for payment of the amount due, you must contact us prior to the date of the planned procedure so we can evaluate your eligibility based on your income and expenses. Please also see “Financial Assistance Application Process” above.

If we receive payment from your insurer or HMO that is less than projected, we will notify you of additional payment due. Payment will be expected within 15 days of notification of the balance due.  Failure to pay the balance due by the deadline will result in further collections activity.

If you have notified us in advance that you have no insurance and will pay cash for your procedure, you must pay the full estimated charges in advance. If the procedure performed by your physician differs from the one scheduled, you may owe the difference between the scheduled procedure and the actual procedure performed. 

The balance, if any, will be due within 15 days. For more information, including quality measures and statistics about our (or any other) facility, please visit www.floridahealthfinder.gov.

PROVIDERS

Please see the list of providers associated with Center For Sight. The patient and their provider(s) are responsible to elect and determine which services, diagnostics, and planned procedures will be authorized to perform based on their intended payment plan and policies.

Patients and prospective patients should contact each health care provider who will provide services in the facility to determine the health insurers and HMOs with which the provider participates as a network provider or preferred provider. Another health care provider who will bill you for services could include a medical doctor that performed the procedure, an anesthesia provider, pathology provider and laboratory which will analyze tissue your physician may require be sent to the laboratory to diagnose your condition. 

We may be required to send tissue for analysis by a pathology lab contracted with your health plan.  Your insurer’s provider network information may include the pathology lab in the insurer’s network of providers.  You may want to check with your insurer.  Or, you can contact the laboratory directly about whether they participate in your health plan.
