Financial Assistance Policy
If Pediatric Surgery Centers believes that you have health insurance and/or HMO coverage(s) that may cover some or all of the Services, Pediatric Surgery Centers may initiate contact with them to determine your cost-sharing responsibilities for Pediatric Surgery Centers’s bill. You may contact them directly as well for additional information concerning your cost-sharing responsibilities. If Pediatric Surgery Centers determines that you have cost-sharing responsibilities for Pediatric Surgery Centers’s bill, in accordance with Pediatric Surgery Centers’s financial assistance policies, you will be required to pay your cost-sharing responsibilities in full on or before the date that Services are provided. Pediatric Surgery Centers’s financial assistance policies are that if you are unable to pay your cost-sharing responsibilities in full on or before the date that Services are provided, because you believe you are medically indigent or you are not covered by any health insurance or HMO, then upon request Pediatric Surgery Centers, in its sole discretion, may offer you a discount on the amount due and/or offer a payment plan. Any such discount is considered by Pediatric Surgery Centers to be “charity care.” There is no formal application process for obtaining “charity care” at Pediatric Surgery Centers. Pediatric Surgery Centers’s standard collection policy is to produce and send one or more bills to patients for their cost sharing amount.
