Pricing Transparency Policy
At Florida Endoscopy and Surgery Center, our goal is to provide patients with high quality care and the best possible outpatient surgical experience, from registration through discharge. We know that understanding billing, insurance, and medical records may seem overwhelming at times. To make this process more transparent and help patients understand their personal out-of-pocket responsibility, the surgery center provides the following information:
State of Florida Health Care Pricing Website
The Florida Agency for Health Care Administration (AHCA) focuses on providing Floridians with access to affordable, quality health care. AHCA maintains a pricing website that provides information on payments made to hospitals for defined service bundles and procedures.
The ACHA pricing website is located at: http://pricing.floridahealthfinder.gov.
The information found on the AHCA pricing website is non-personalized, which means it is not a specific, personalized estimate of costs that may be incurred by a patient for anticipated services. Actual costs incurred by a patient will be based on services actually provided to a patient.
Personalized Estimate of Costs
All patients, potential patients, or legal guardians of patients have the right to request a personalized estimate of costs for outpatient surgical services. Our Business Office welcomes questions and are available to provide assistance. To obtain a personalized estimate, please contact the Business Office at 1-352-576-5065, Monday through Friday, 8:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.
Payment, Billing, and Assistance Policies
The surgery center has established payment and billing policies regarding financial assistance, billing, and collections. These payment policies can be found by clicking on the “Financial Assistance” link under the “For Patients” menu.
All patients should contact the health care providers that may provide services regarding a personalized cost estimate, billing practices, and participation with a patient’s health insurer or HMO.
