Your insurance carrier might refer to East Valley Outpatient Surgery as an “out-of-network” facility. This does not mean that we do not accept your insurance, but rather it means we do not currently have a contract with your particular health insurer.
If you have an insurance policy with out-of-network benefits (such as a PPO), you have the benefit of visiting physicians and facilities that are outside of your insurance carrier’s network, which would include our surgery center.
Our policy regarding billing patients for “out-of-network” surgeries is based on two central principles:
- Providing certainty to the patient
- Ensuring collection by the surgery center.
We are pleased to enter into contracts with insurance companies if it is in the best interests of the surgery center’s patients and medical staff. We choose to stay out-of-network with certain insurance companies to maintain flexibility in optimizing your treatment. We chose our participate or not in various situations so we can best tailor our processes to suit our surgeons, the surgeries performed here, and, most importantly, our patients.
We are happy to answer any questions you may have. Please call our patient services at 480-739-1658.
