Patient’s Rights

Fees, Insurance, and Billing
The Hughston Surgical Center business office will contact you to discuss any financial arrangements before your surgery. We should be able to estimate the cost of your surgery. Day of service charges are estimated based on the surgery scheduled, but the final charges are based on the actual procedures and any implants used during surgery. Our fee is for the facility which includes the operating room, recovery room and certain anesthesia and surgical supplies. The surgeon, anesthesiologist, pathologist and radiologist (if applicable) will bill you separately for their services. Patients with insurance are asked to pay their copayment, coinsurance, and any deductible as a deposit on the day of the surgery. Your insurance will be billed as a courtesy; however, the balance remains the patient’s responsibility. Uninsured patients will be required to pay on or before the day of surgery. If you have questions regarding fees or insurance, please feel free to call us. Hughston Surgical Center accepts Visa, MasterCard, Discover, American Express, personal checks, cashier’s checks, and cash.
