Financial Information

As a courtesy to our patients, our business office will submit a claim on behalf of the patient to their insurance company for the facility charges. As a service to our patients, we will call the patient with their estimated fees and responsibility two days prior to the procedure. Patients are expected to pay prior or the day of their procedure. For a personal estimate of fees, please contact the billing department at 561-753-7487. Patients are expected to pay their financial obligations in a timely manner. Patients will receive a statement from other health care providers who will bill separately for their services. This includes professional services from your physician, anesthesia services, and pathology services.
