Payment

We require payment of your deductible, co-payment, and co-insurance at the time of admission. We accept cash, checks, debit and all major credit cards. For procedures that are not covered by insurance and for patients who do not have medical insurance, we require full payment at the time of admission. Please call our office prior to your surgery date if special payment arrangements are necessary.

Insurance

As a courtesy prior to the date of surgery, Methodist Ambulatory Surgery Center-Medical Center will verify patient insurance coverage and benefits for patients and will make every effort to communicate this information to the patient before the surgery date.
