Insurance and Payment
Soma Surgery Center has an onsite dedicated patient accounts administrator available to
provide assistance regarding your account.
Insurance coverage
We will submit your claim to your insurance company the same day your procedure
is performed. You may receive a check made out to your name from your insurance
company for your services. This check must be presented to the center’s patient account
administrator within 5 business days or you may be responsible for collection or court
costs. Prior to surgery, you may be responsible for payment of your deductible, co-
payment, and co-insurance payment as determined by your insurance provider. Since
your insurance contract is an agreement between you and the insurance company, any
unpaid balance remains the responsibility of the patient or person who signs for financial
responsibility of the account. We appreciate your assistance in ensuring prompt payment
from your insurance company.
Medicare patients
Soma Surgery Center is a participating Medicare provider. We will file charges for
services rendered to Medicare and also bill all supplemental insurance. Medicare patients
are responsible for the co-payments and deductible amounts not paid by a supplemental
insurance.
Method of payment
You may pay by cash, check or credit card. Soma Surgery Center accepts all major credit
cards. Total payment is required a week before the day of surgery, unless otherwise
arranged with the patient accounts administrator. The surgery center’s administrator is
available to discuss your individual accounts.
Professional fees
You may receive other fees related to your surgery that are not part of the center's
charges. These may include fees from the surgeon, anesthesiologist, etc.
