Elmira ASC, LLC

Medicare and insurance companies require that health care providers bill separately for each component of the surgery, so that approach has been adopted as the standard approach for most medical billing. You will receive two bills related to your surgery. Please see information in your surgical folder for details regarding these fees. 

Even for insured patients, deductibles may apply.  Deductibles are the amount that you must pay before your insurance coverage begins.

We participate with many insurance plans, including:

Aetna, Aetna Better Health*, Blue Cross Blue Shield of Western New Yor, CDPHP, Cigna, Devon*, Emblem Health*, New York State Empire Plan, Excellus Blue Cross Blue Shield, Fidelis*, Galaxy Health Newtork, Geisinger*, Health Partners*, Highmark Blue Cross Blue Shield*, Highmark Wholecare (formerly Gateway Health Plan), Humana, Humana Military (Tricare East)*, iCircle*,  Independent Health, Martin's Point, New York State Medicaid, Pennsylvania Medicaid*, Medicare, Molina*, Multiplan*, MVP, Nascentia*, Pennsylvania Health and Wellness*, United Health Care, UPMC*, Veterans Administration (VACCN), Wellcare (formerly Today's Options).

Co-pays and co-insurance refer to the share of the bill (after the deductible has been met) that you are responsible to pay.  This differs by insurance plan.

Fees must be paid up-front before surgery and is typically collected at the pre-operative appointment.  The surgical scheduler has this information before you come in for your pre-operative appointment and will make you aware of any financial responsibility you may have.
