The Business Office will call you several days prior to surgery to discuss billing procedures.

Be sure to bring your most current insurance cards with you on the day of surgery.

Patients who do not have insurance are required to pay their charges in advance. We accept cash, cashier's checks, credit cards and personal checks with a valid photo ID.
