What to Know About The Surgical Clinic
Billing & Payments
If your insurance requires a co-payment, co-insurance, or deductible payment, this is due at the time of your appointment
Once insurance claims are settled, patients have 30 days to pay any remaining balance 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. Often connecting through a phone call can help clear up any misunderstanding, if you have any questions regarding your account please call our billing office at 615.292.5722.
