Patient Billing
Insurance, payments & financial details
Billing & Payments
If your insurance requires a copayment, this is due at the time of your appointment. The Surgical Clinic accepts cash, check (payable to The Surgical Clinic, PLLC) Visa, MasterCard, American Express and Discover. Any co-payments, co-insurance or deductible payments are due at the time of service. If payment is not rendered at the time of the visit The Surgical Clinic reserves the right to collect all fees prior to your next scheduled appointment.
Once insurance claims are settled, patients will have 30 days to pay any remaining balances or to make arrangements for payments. Failure to do so provides The Surgical Clinic the right to contact a collection agency for collection of all unpaid balances and all fees accrued for this service will be added to the unpaid balance.
If you have questions regarding your account please call our billing office at 615-292-5722. Many times a simple telephone call can clear up any misunderstandings.
Insurance Coverage
It is important that you check with your insurance company prior to making your appointment with the Surgeon. The Surgical Clinic accepts most insurance coverage, but you will want to make sure that your specific policy is included. A call to your insurance company will provide you peace of mind that your procedure will be covered. The insurance specialists at The Surgical Clinic will file all office and surgical procedures with your insurance company. Make sure that you bring your most recent insurance cards and/or any changes to your plan coverage to EVERY appointment.
Out of network Info
Please note that you are responsible for knowledge of your insurance benefits and are financially responsible for all non-covered services and all OUT OF NETWORK services that are NOT COVERED by your insurance plan.
Surgeons are considered to be ‘specialists’ by most insurance plans. This means that most insurance plans require a referral form from your primary care physician, nurse practitioner or physician assistant before you can have an office visit with a surgeon. Without this prior authorization, the surgeon will be unable to see you. You can make sure that your appointment goes smoothly by providing your referring doctor the name and fax number of the Surgeon you are planning to see at The Surgical Clinic.
