:: ABOUT YOUR BILL::

We accept most types of insurance, including Medicare, Medicaid, Blue Cross Blue Shield, OSF Healthplans, Country Companies, B.C.E. Emergis, Corvel, Multi-plan, PHCS, as well as many others. Please call (309) 834-4004 if you have questions regarding insurance.

A member of our business office staff will call your insurance company prior to surgery to verify your medical benefits for our facility charge. Since all insurance information is provided by your surgeon’s office, please notify them with the most recent and accurate insurance cards. We will secure any information regarding co-payments, coinsurance, and/or deductible amounts that will be your responsibility.

You will receive a bill for the services provided by the Surgery Center. This covers your preoperative evaluation, most supplies and medications, equipment, personnel, and use of the operating and recovery rooms.

If you have no insurance or if your insurance does not cover the procedure to be performed, please make arrangements to pay the Surgery Center facility fee on the day of the surgery. Special prior financial arrangements can be made with our business office.

For your convenience, we accept cash, personal checks, VISA and MasterCard.

In addition to our bill for the facility fee, you will receive separate bills for the following services:

• Your physician or surgeon

• Anesthesia, if you received general anesthesia or it was necessary for a nurse anesthetist or an anesthesiologist to be available for your procedure

• Laboratory tests, if they were required by your physician

• Radiology imaging before or during your surgery

• Pathology, if tissues or specimens were removed during surgery

Any questions regarding the above services should be directed to the billing offices of the appropriate provider.

Our business office staff will be happy to answer any questions you may have regarding insurance coverage or billing procedures if you call (309) 834-4004.
