Billing Information
Prior to your procedure, the staff of OrthoAtlanta Surgery Center of Austell will contact your insurer to verify benefits specific to your plan. You then will be contacted by our staff to resolve any issues or to inform you of any co-pays, co-insurance, or deductible which will be due on the day of surgery. In most cases, we should be able to estimate the cost of your surgery upfront, and our Business Office staff will help you finalize your financial arrangements before your surgery. Please arrive on the day of surgery prepared to meet any financial responsibility. Patients who do not have insurance coverage will be required to make a payment before the procedure is performed.
