General Financial Information
Centennial Surgery Center is committed to providing you
with the best possible care. If you have medical insurance,
we are anxious to help you receive your maximum allowable
benefits. In order to achieve these goals, we need your
assistance and your understanding of our payment policy.
There are separate charges
for the facility, the physician/surgeon and anesthesia.
As part of the Centennial Surgery Center
patient rights and responsibility guidelines, we feel that
you have a right to know how we file for reimbursement and
what your financial responsibility is to us prior to your
surgery. We participate with many third party payors including
Medicare, Medicaid, Aetna US Healthcare, Horizon, Amerihealth,
Keystone, Independence Blue Cross/Shield, Atlanticare, 1st
Managed Care, CHN and Multiplan. If you do not see your
insurance plan on our list, please contact the billing department
directly. (856-874-0790 x212)
PARTICPATION means
we follow the carrier’s guidelines of the amount determined
payable on a given procedure, minus any deductibles, co-pays
or co-insurance due from the patient. If during the verification
process, it is discovered that an out-of-pocket expense
is due, a minimum deposit of 1/3 will be required in advance.
To assist you in making a deposit, the Center accepts Visa
and MasterCard.
Pre-Approval Process
Your insurance coverage will be verified
prior to the date of your procedure. A patient account representative
will contact your insurance carrier to:
- Verify approval for the medical
necessity of the treatment
- Confirm that a valid referral
is on file
- Determine co-pay/co-insurance
or deductible liability
- Verify your eligibility and benefits
Day of Surgery
On the day of surgery, it is very important that you bring
your most updated insurance card(s) along with photo identification
and a referral form if required. If you are insured by a
managed care payor, it is a requirement that you have a
referral. Your primary care physician’s office should provide
you with a referral indicating surgery to be performed at
Centennial Surgery Center. If you do not bring that referral,
it may potentially postpone or cancel your procedure.
