We understand that navigating surgery, insurance, and associated costs can be overwhelming. To make this process easier, it’s important to know that for any surgery, there are typically three separate billers:

  1. The Physician performing the surgery.
  2. The Facility where the surgery takes place.
  3. The Anesthesiologist involved in your procedure.

Here’s a breakdown of how these will be handled for your upcoming surgery:
