Right to Request an Estimate

Patients and prospective patients have the right to request a personalized estimate from Advanced Surgical Care of Ocala by calling 352.342.9100.

Billing:

A member of our staff will call you prior to surgery to discuss pre-operative orders and your insurance coverage. Since we are unable to determine the exact amount your insurance will cover prior to your procedure, we request a deposit on your date of service, which will be applied to your total financial responsibility. We will submit a claim to your insurance company on your behalf, and once the claim has been processed by your insurance carrier, we will send you a bill for any remaining balance, based on the amount allowed by your insurance company and your in-network benefits. Our pricing is competitive, and the total out of pocket expenses will be cost neutral to another facility.

Other Providers

Services may be provided in Advanced Surgical Care of Ocala by the facility as well as by other health care providers who may separately bill the patient and who may or may not participate with the same health insurers or health maintenance organizations as the facility.

Patients and prospective patients may request from this facility and other health care providers a more personalized estimate of charges and other information, such as billing practices. Patients and prospective patients should contact each health care practitioner who will provide services in this surgery center to determine the health insurers and health maintenance organizations with which the health care practitioner participates as a network provider or preferred provider.

Contract Providers

Please contact the health care practitioners anticipated to provide services for your surgery with regards to a personalized estimate, billing practice and participation with your insurance provider or health maintenance organization (HMO) as the contracted practitioners may not participate with the same health insurers or HMO as Advanced Surgical Care of Ocala.
