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.

Patients Without Insurance
If you are not covered by an insurance carrier, we ask that you speak with the Billing Manager prior to treatment to discuss your financial situation. It is the policy of the Center to request 50%of the cost of the treatment prior to the date of service. If special arrangements need to be made, a payment contract can be arranged for you with our Billing Manager. If it becomes necessary, past due accounts will be turned over to a collection agency.

Past Due Accounts
Please remember that when you receive our statements, you have already received quality healthcare and your insurance has been initiated by us. We would then ask that you pay promptly upon receiving your statement. If you are not able to pay your account in full, please contact one of our patient account representatives to avoid the collection process.

If You Have Questions
Centennial Surgery Center is committed to providing the highest quality care to patients who require a procedure or surgery. The Center will take all the necessary steps to insure appropriate reimbursement for all procedures performed at our facility. If at any time, you have specific questions regarding our reimbursement policy, do not hesitate to contact one of our patient account representatives.
